More new species have evolved in coral reef habitats than in most other types of habitats.
Explanation: Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots and centers of speciation, producing many endemic species. The other statements are false—zooxanthellae are important but not the majority of reef species, not all reef-evolved species stay only in reefs, and most reef species did not merely migrate in from elsewhere.
