Detailed explanation-2: -LOCATION: Coral reefs are generally found in clear, tropical oceans. Coral reefs form in waters from the surface to about 150 feet (45 meters) deep because they need sunlight to survive. The three types of reefs include fringing reefs, barrier reefs, and atolls.
Detailed explanation-3: -Coral reefs are archetypical benthic ecosystem found in warm, oligotrophic, shallow depth in tropical waters.
