Inside Info: Taking Apart a Coral Reef is full of all the most colourful, microscopic and surprising features of a coral reef. Picking apart the built-up layers of this beautiful biome - the tough coral skeleton and the delicate polyp structures - and uncovering the reef's many inhabitants, we get to know the pieces and partnerships that make a coral reef so vital to our oceans. Finally, see how it all goes back together as a symbiotic whole, and learn the science of saving reefs around the world.
