Elements of the ecology of modern and paleoecology of fossil corals

Abstract
Optimal conditions for modern colonial hexacorals of the order Scleractinia are well studied [Bogdanov, 1963; Kerrington, 1964; Ommany, 1963; Ravikovich, 1954]. Their distribution is influenced by depth, temperature, salinity, water movement and oxygen supply, as well as bottom composition. Corals reach their maximum development at depths of 20–40 m.
