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 the frame of a timber-framed-house (Ginsburg & Lowenstam 1958). The infill, the material between the framework, is provided by sediment and by binding orga- nisms such as calcareous red algae, foraminifers, encrusting corals, bryozoans, etc. One prerequisite for the presence of loose sediment is the activity of boring organisms which to a certain extent loosen the structures created by the.
