Here is the right answer to the crossword clue Ring-shaped isle of coral featured in the Universal puzzle. The correct answer to this clue is ATOLL.
An "atoll" is a ring-shaped coral reef, island, or series of islets that encircle a lagoon partially or completely. These formations are typically found in warm tropical oceans and seas, often in areas where the water is relatively shallow. Atolls begin as fringing reefs around volcanic islands.
Over time, as the volcanic island subsides or erodes away, the coral continues to grow upward toward the sunlight, forming a circular or horseshoe-shaped reef with a central lagoon. The term "atoll" specifically refers to these unique formations where the reef itself forms a closed circle or near-circle, often with a calm, shallow lagoon at its center.
