    OK here it is

    I took this picture in a hotspring in Yellowstone. The water was around 200 degrees.

    There is bacteria called thermopiles that eat sulfur and deposit calcium carbonate building their own reefs.

    This competition was fixed!! No wonder we couldn't win, most of us probably never even know there were corals that could live in that temperature of water.
