Kabonat kalsyòm lan (CaCO3) nan koray resif ak nan kokiy yo nan lòt kalsifikateur marin vini nan de diferan fòm mineral: kalsit ak aragonite. Se dlo lanmè a nan oswa tou pre sifas lanmè a nan twopik yo supersaturated ak iyon ki nesesè yo fòme sa yo mineral carbonate.

The calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in coral reefs and in the shells of other marine calcifiers comes in two different mineral forms: calcite and aragonite. The seawater at or near the ocean’s surface in the tropics is supersaturated with the ions necessary to form these carbonate minerals.
