Over time, these polyps generate rock-like skeletons made of calcium carbonate. Together, colonies of polyps produce large three-dimensional structures, which form the basis of an underwater metropolis. These coral complexes are full of nooks and crannies that house and protect countless life forms.

It's called a pyrosome or colonial tunicate, if you like. This wasn't what we were looking for. We were looking for corals, deep sea corals. You're going to see a picture of one in a moment. It's small, about five centimeters high. It's made of calcium carbonate, so you can see its tentacles there,

Philippe Cousteau, Jr.
American Scientist
Ocean acidification is often referred to as osteoporosis of the oceans because as acidity rises, shell building creatures such as lobster, oyster, crab, shrimp, and coral are unable to extract the calcium carbonate from the water that they need to build their shells and are thus unable to survive.

Ever since the eighth grade, I can honestly say I cut out carbonated drinks from my diet and started focusing on hydrating my body well. It's a message that needs to get out, especially in the south.

Pepsi and Coke have to co-exist on the shelf for the long term because if they pull each other down, no one's going to drink carbonated soft drinks anymore.

A new idea is like carbonated liquid in a bottle. You just sort of shake it until the cork pops, then you write and write.
