Healthy coral = happy fish 🐠🐠🐠 Nicknamed the "rainforests of the sea," coral reefs provide shelter and food to at least 4,000 species of fish, as well as many other marine animals. RT if you want to #savecoralreefs.

#CoralReef habitats are nicknamed the “rainforest of the sea” because nearly 1/4 of all ocean species call this habitat home, ranging from tiny filter-feeders to large predatory sharks. Find @NOAAHabitat facts here: go.usa.gov/xF4PS #HabitatMonth #OceanDecade
