started this pretty late so not sure if i'll get this finished before the 15th but hey, the journey is what counts.
Coral reef dragon - these migrating sea dragons obtain their energy from the photosynthesising algae that colonise the coral reefs growing from its back. The coral reef dragon also provides a home (both temporary and permanent) to several species of fish and other marine life. While some creatures use the dragon as impromptu taxi service, some of these smaller life forms migrate with it for their entire life span, as the dragon seeks out waters with the correct conditions to flourish.
With ocean temperatures continuing to rise, the older and weaker dragons may not have the strength to migrate to colder waters . As the algae providing them with energy die off, the dragons become weaker, their coral growth becoming bleached, until they are so starved that they settle on the sea floor to die
