- ABOUT CORALS
Coral organisms, called
polyps, can live on their own, but are primarily associated with the
spectacularly diverse limestone communities, or reefs, they construct.
- Polyps, Colonies, and Reefs
Coral polyps are tiny,
soft-bodied organisms related to sea anemones and jellyfish. At their base is a
hard, protective limestone skeleton called a calicle, which forms the structure
of coral reefs. Reefs begin when a polyp attaches itself to a rock on the sea
floor, then divides, or buds, into thousands of clones. The polyp calicles
connect to one another, creating a colony that acts as a single organism. As
colonies grow over hundreds and thousands of years, they join with other
colonies and become reefs. Some of the coral reefs on the planet today began
growing over 50 million years ago.
- Color and Bleaching
Coral polyps are actually
translucent animals. Reefs get their wild hues from the billions of colorful
zooxanthellae (ZOH-oh-ZAN-thell-ee) algae they host. When stressed by such
things as temperature change or pollution, corals will evict their boarders,
causing coral bleaching that can kill the colony if the stress is not
mitigated.
- Threats to Survival
Coral reefs teem with life, covering less than one
percent of the ocean floor, but supporting about 25 percent of all marine
creatures. However, threats to their existence abound, and scientists estimate
that human factors—such as pollution, global warming, and sedimentation—are threatening large swaths of the world's reefs.

"Shadow and light are two sides of the same coin..
One cannot exist without the other."
"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you."
"The sprint is sometimes like a toss of a coin. Sometimes it's heads,
and sometimes it's tails."

Nature

Nature, in the broadest sense, is the natural, physical, or material world or universe. "Nature" can refer to the phenomena of the physical world, and also to life in general. The study of nature is a large part of science. Although humans are part of nature, human activity is often understood as a separate category from other natural phenomena.
The word nature is derived from the Latin word natura, or "essential qualities, innate disposition", and in ancient times, literally meant "birth".[1] Natura is a Latin translation of the Greek word physis (φύσις), which originally related to the intrinsic characteristics that plants, animals, and other features of the world develop of their own accord.[2][3] The concept of nature as a whole, the physical universe, is one of several expansions of the original notion; it began with certain core applications of the word φύσις by pre-Socratic philosophers, and has steadily gained currency ever since. This usage continued during the advent of modern scientific method in the last several centuries.[4][5]
Within the various uses of the word today, "nature" often refers to geology and wildlife. Nature can refer to the general realm of living plants and animals, and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects–the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord, such as the weather and geology of the Earth. It is often taken to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. For example, manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature, unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind. Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the unnatural or the supernatural.
