Corals are beautiful but fragile and cannot be touched!
Not all corals are hard. This photo show both hard and soft coral, both are living colonies of animals!
Corals are endangered throughout the world. It's up to all of us to protect the waters around the world from polution so that all living things will prosper. Remember, everything runs downstream!

Feeding dolphins or interfering with them is strictly prohibited.
