In temperate waters, such as California's, reefs consist of rocky substrate rather than the coral reefs of the tropics which are the calcified skeletons of hard corals. Nevertheless, there are corals on California's reefs, called gorgonians; they attach themselves to the rocky substrate. Much like soft corals in the tropics, they play an important role in the kelp forest ecosystems on these reefs.
