TRUE of FALSE: Coral is a plant.
Give us your best guess ๐Ÿ‘‡
Coral is the foundation of a living ecosystem. It is built by thousands of tiny, soft-bodied organisms called coral polyps. These polyps extract calcium carbonate from seawater to construct a hard, protective skeleton beneath them. Over centuries, these skeletons build up to form massive reefs.

TRUE or FALSE: Manta rays have a
venomous stinger?

Kona is one of the only places in the world to see
mantas. Each manta is unique with a one-of-a-kind
pattern of black spots, blotches, and pigmentation on
its underside. This is their Belly fingerprint. These
markings function just like a human fingerprint and
remain unchanged from the time the manta is born
throughout its entire life.
