The calcareous deposits of these organisms with their microrelief are preferred colonization sites for coral larvae (see also Wallace & Bull 1981; Sammarco 1996). The adhesion of these calcium-carbonate-secreting organisms can therefore be seen as the preparation phase. It is with the successful growth of hydrocorals and scleractinian corals that the stage of frame-building or reef- building starts. The extensive skeletons formed can be compared with th
