- 4 March 2014 7. What are the little black worms that get into houses at this time of year? They are about 5 to 8 cms long and usually come in at night. They crawl around for a while (sometimes up the wall) and then die. If disturbed, they curl into a tight spiral.
These are: Major regions of coral reef development. (1) The Indo-Pacific-Includes most of the Indian Ocean (excluding the Red Sea), and the western Pacific. (2) The Wider Caribbean (tropical western Atlantic) - Includes Florida, The Bahamas, Caribbean Sea proper, and coastal waters off northeastern S. America.
Where Are Coral Reefs Located? Coral reefs are found in all three of the Earth's oceans that have portions in the tropics - the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian. However, coral reefs are not randomly scattered throughout each of these great ocean basins (see map below). Why? Because the global distribution of coral reefs is largely determined by the ecological requirements of the reef-building corals themselves. The coral animals that build tropical reefs require sunlight found in clear, shallow ocean waters.
