As dolomite in algae bind reefs together, they make it stronger and less vulnerable to acidification in the ocean, forming "super corals".

Hi Bea,
just check some information about extracellular matrix especially of red algae, there you could find many ideas how to explain your question.
Good luck

A clarification Bea, it is the algae that have the dolomite, not the coral. The algae with dolomite grow over the coral skeletons and form thick resistant crusts.
