I was thinking about this earlier. Most fish that reside at coral reefs do not eat coral. In fact, it seems that coral is very succeptable to predation, and takes years upon years to recover. So almost all of the fish utilize coral reefs simply for the physical structure, and to eat the the non-coral organisms that live there.
So wouldn't a non-coral limestone reef be nearly as productive as a natural coral reef?
