the deposit by minute polypous animals of calcareous matter in cells in which the animal lives .
It is of numberless shapes as it grows ,
but usually is branched like a tree .
Great coral reefs and coral islands abound in the Red Sea ,

The red ,
being esteemed the most precious ,
was used ,
as noticed above ,
for ornamental purposes .
