The flora and fauna of the Indian Ocean is quite
rich. In the shallow waters of the tropical zone,
corals grow, which create islands with red and
green algae. Among the coral islands, the
Maldives are the most famous. Among these strong
coral structures, there are many species of
invertebrates, such as crabs, sea urchins,
sponges, and coral fish. Huge areas of dense
thickets of brown algae are common here. Most of
the planktonic algae are found in the open ocean,
while the Arabian Sea is characterized by
blue-green algae, which constantly cause water to
bloom.

hedgehogs, turtles, luminous anchovies, and
