Creatures of the Coral Reef

The warm sunny waters under the sea are home to a lot of different creatures of all shapes, sizes, and colors. A coral reef can have thousands of different species of fish and coral, starfish and giant clams, even sea slugs Lets start, let us know the different Creatures under the Sea .. **REEF SHARK** Sleek and swift, sharks patrol the edge of the reef after dark. They can sense movements made by a sick or injured fish and swim straight in for the kill. **. SEA TURTLE** Female sea turtles leave the water to lay eggs on sandy and beaches. The rest of the time they can be found enjoying life under the sea. **JELLY FISH** In the earth's oceans for over 650 million years; they were here before the dinosaurs. **LION SNAKE** Its bright colors are warning for other fish not to come too close. Hiding behind its fins, are has spines that can shoot poison. **MORAY EELS** The moray eel spears fish and mollusks with its sharp teeth. However, it lets tiny shrimp in its mouth pick bits leftover food from its teeth and it doesn't even Think of eating them. **SEA SNAKE** There are about 50 species of sea snakes. They're almost exactly like land snakes except that they've adapted to life in the sea. They have gills and flattened tails for swimming. **FEATHER STAR** These delicate animals are related to starfish. They anchor themselves on rocks and strech out their many arms to train plankton from the water. **SEA URCHIN** Sea urchins have hard shells covered with sharp spines. They graze on algae and tiny creatures on the rocks. **CLOWN FISH** Clownfish live among the tentacles of sea anemones. They have a mucus like coating that keeps them from getting stung by the anemones tentacles. **SEA ANEMONE** The singing tentacles of the sea anemone strech out of catch small sea creatures. If danger threatens, it can pull its tentacles in again in a flash. **CROWN OF THORNS STARFISH** These eat corals. To eat they push their stomachs out through their mouths in order to digest the coral polyps slowly. Then it pulls its stomach back in.
