Over time coral reefs may be changed into a firm sedimentary rock, known as reef rock, and eventually into a dense, solid limestone.
An example is the Coral Rag Formation around Oxford England. Some Coral Rag was used as a building stone. It can be seen in some of the oldest buildings in that city.

What is the difference between coral reef and reef?
A coral reef is a community of organisms that exist in shallower ocean depths. The key component is coral, which often forms the foundation of the reef ecosystem. Coral species may either be photosynthetic or non-photosynthetic, however, the foundational species as well as the predominant majority are often photosynthetic. Most people define a 'reef' as a 'coral reef', but there are however manmade reefs, often called artificial reefs. These reefs are usually made from scrap material such as bridge rubble, or sunken ships. I would also call underwater rock formations that are often inhabited by various marine species a type of reef as well.
