Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots and centers of speciation — their structural complexity, varied niches, and stable conditions promote the evolution of many endemic species. The other statements are incorrect: zooxanthellae are important symbionts but not the majority of reef organisms, species don't always remain only in the habitat where they evolved, and most reef species are not simply migrants from other habitats.
