A coral reef is made of thin layers of calcium carbonate. Coral polyps form a living mat over a calcium carbonate skeleton. Stony corals (or scleractinians) are the corals primarily responsible for laying the foundations of, and building up, reef structures.
Reef-building corals are colonial and grow into distinctive shapes formed when many individual polyps growing together. These colonies form the basic structure of a coral reef. Corallites erode over time; they are broken down and wash into the shore where they create beaches.
