Coral
Another organism that has adapted to the coral reef is the coral it self. The water temperature in some coral reefs have been changing slightly and getting warmer. The coral that lives in these water die out because it can’t live in such a warm environment. Over time some of these coral has adapted to the warm water and is able to live in warm water. Research shows that warmer water coral tends to be able to survive better than cool water coral in rising temperatures.

Clownfish
One other organism that is able to adapt to the coral reef is the percula clownfish or you could call it the anemone fish. This fish has adapted to the anemone that is in the coral reef. The anemone is an organism in the coral reef with venomous tentacles. The anemone stings every fish that touches it except for the clownfish. The reason for this is because the clownfish has a special coat made of mucus that protects it from the anemone's sting. This mucus coat is developed even if the clownfish has never encountered an anemone before. The anemone is just more than a home to the clownfish. The anemone protects the clownfish from predators and provides it with food. The anemone and the clownfish have this mutualism relationship. The clownfish gets a home and protection, while the anemone is cleaned by the clownfish because it eats the leftovers of the anemone. The clownfish eats various algae, plankton, and the leftovers of the anemone. It's usually known for the beautiful colors and stripes that it has on its bodies. Another fact about the clownfish is that it gained worldwide popularity after appearing on the animated movie, Finding Nemo.
