Answer 3

it depends on your version of 'large' most are relatively small-ish

Answer 4

complex = deffers

Answer 5

as far as i can see they are made up of calcium carbonate and not individuals, it may be a trick question, as corral reefs are made of individuals but not the actual corrals themselves

Answer 7

Corals are composed of many small individuals that create hard structures to live in, which is what we know as coral. Unlike popular belief, coral are not plants and they are especially not rocks. They are animals, just that they are extremely small and shy. The animal is called a polyp and they live in large groups of millions. So yeah, the answer is D. I study marine biology and I am a scuba diver. Believe me I know what I am talking about.
