Elements of the ecology of modern and paleoecology of fossil corals
Authors:
Abstract
Optimal conditions for modern colonial six-beam corals of the scleractinids are well studied [Bogdanov, 1963; Carrington, 1964; Ommani, 1963; Ravikovich, 1954]. Their distribution is influenced by depth, temperature, salinity, water movement and oxygen supply, and soil composition. Corals reach their maximum development at depths of 20-40 m.
