Their islands dot the southern oceans, many of them the abode of men. Their huge submarine deposits, elevated by geologic changes of past ages, have been important factors in determining the outline and surface features of continents and have entered into the structure of mountain ranges. They have furnished building stones for houses and marble for statuary. Their disintegrated substance has fertilized fields and grown crops, finally washing down to the seas, to be worked over again by the obiquitous polyps for future ages.

The soft colors of their outer surface run through varied hues of rose, pink, orange, tan, yellow, green, blue and purple all the colors of the spectrum.

Since they are plants they use the carbon dioxide excreted by the polyp in which they live, and in the presence of sunlight transform It into food for themselves, giving forth oxygen In the process. The latter gas, so essential for animal existence, Is utilized in turn by the polyp In its vital processes. Hence there is maintained a partnership between the plant and the animal of equal Importance to both. Gets Strong Colors From Algae. If the coral colony happens to be located in strong sunlight, the algae multiply with great rapidity, giving the polyp's tissues a deep golden hue. This fact accounts for the rich tans and saffrons of the great elk. horn corals that form the extensive treelike growths in the Andros reef. If the coral Is growing In a sub- marine nook where the sunlight is weak, the algae are relatively few and the coral tissues are seen in their original pigmented color. For example, the brain coral is naturally green, due to the color of its pigment, and that Is the way It appears In deeper waters and shaded localities; but in moderately illuminated areas the microscopic plant partners are more numerous along the summits of the sinuous ridges of the coral, producing a yellow color In contrast with the green in the winding valleys between them.
