My Totem Animal and Biome.
BY Shareen Blake
Coral Reef My biome is located in the tropical areas which are closer to the equator.
The development of coral reefs formed after the last frozen period when ice bergs were melting and caused the sea level to rise and flood the inland shelves.
What is The Temperature, Precipitation of Your Biome?
The Coral Reef biome is found only in shallow, warm water.
The water temperature is usually steady year round.
Human Contact: Even if you touch the reef slightly, it can harm it. Boats dropping their anchors can cause horrible damage to these fragile ecosystems. Humans occasionally kill the reefs over time. Fertilizers & Pollution:Fertilizers go off into the reefs which cause pesticides and other chemicals which can poison reefs.
How has man affected your biome?

Food
The clown fishes diet is plakton and also the clown fish feeds on little crustaceans.
The clown fish is suited for its environment because the fish lives in the sea anemone which the fish does not get stung by the tentacles. So the fish survives by living in the sea anemone because the anemone does all the work by killing the other fishes that would try to eat the clown fish.
