We&rsquo;re talking about something built by tiny, delicate coral polyps, over millions of years, that has grown to a scale so immense it practically defies imagination. This isn&rsquo;t just a bunch of rocks or a big mountain; it&rsquo;s a bustling, vibrant, underwater city, teeming with life, all constructed by these little marine animals.
