Reef Riddles

1. I have eight arms, I'm super smart, and when I'm scared, I make ink art!
5. My roots love salty water, it’s true! I help sea creatures and give birds a view.
6. No nose, no lungs, but fish still breathe! They use me when they're underneath.
8. No bones, no brain, I drift with grace. But don’t get too close—I might sting your face!
11. I look quite small, but don’t be misled—when I get scared, I puff up my head!
14. I’m small, I’m slow, I don’t wear a crown, but my dads give birth—how’s that sound?
16. I may look like a rock, but I'm alive! I help build homes where sea creatures thrive.
17. I jump, I flip, I love to play, and I talk in clicks all day!
18. Once I sailed, but now I rest, deep in the ocean, a fish’s nest!
20. With a shell on my back, I swim with ease, through oceans wide and deep blue seas.
21. I have no bones, but teeth galore! If you see my fin, you might swim to shore!
22. Pulled by the moon, I rise and fall, bringing waves both big and small.
23. I’m tiny but mighty, floating free. Some creatures eat only me!

2. I live in a shell, sometimes tight like a door, but if I’m lucky, I’ll have a pearl at my core!
3. I waddle on land, but in the sea, I swim like a fish—just watch me!
4. I rise, I crash, I roll, I roar! You’ll find me always near the shore.
7. With tentacles long and ink so black, I disappear in a sneaky attack!
9. Standing tall, I shine so bright, guiding ships all through the night.
10. A rainbow under the sea, full of life and home to me!
12. I’m not a fish, but I swim below, exploring places you don’t usually go!
13. I’m the biggest in the ocean blue, but I’m not a fish—guess who?
15. Too much of me makes the ocean salty, not sweet!
18. With a mask and tank, I take a dive, exploring the ocean, feeling alive!
19. I move the ocean fast or slow, pushing water where it should go.
