Humans have found among corals, many medical treatments for human illnesses and diseases.

Because they are colourful and beautiful, corals are also fun for holiday makers, snorkelers and divers, who pay money to people living near the corals reefs, (to see them). That way, the people living there can make money and buy food and things they want.

Having said this, I have to tell you that coral reefs are being destroyed by humans and there are less and less left of them. That is a real shame because they are so beautiful and important.
