because their called SEA TUTRLES!

That was the last answer, to which I say, "Hey, answer the question and stop trying to be funny!"

Sea turtles live in coral reefs because they provide protection and camouflage. Many sea turtles also eat things like shrimp and jellyfish, which live in the shallow-ocean zone, as coral does. Feel free to improve.

A coral reef is a colony of corals. A coral reef can be formed on rock rubble, but old established coral reefs are actually structured out of dead coral.
