Ms. Pena,

I have a question about the corals you mentioned in one of your journals. How have they managed to survive for thousands of years?

Japreet,
The corals have not survived for thousands of years, they have died and become fossilized. They are lying on the ocean floor and the trawl picks them up. Thanks for your question.
Mrs. Pena
