Coral Fragger

Features
Read full description

Coral Fragger is a relaxing idle-merge game set on a living coral reef. Drag corals together to merge them into rarer species, watch your reef grow on its own, and restore the ocean one fragment at a time. MERGE & GROW Drop matching corals onto each other to discover higher, more valuable species. With 93 corals to collect, every merge brings you closer to completing your catalogue. Leave the game and your reef keeps producing — return to a bigger, brighter ocean. DEFEND YOUR REEF Crabs lurk in the depths, ready to snatch your corals! Tap them quickly to catch them and earn bonus biomass. Stay vigilant — your reef depends on it. RESTORE & PRESTIGE When your reef is thriving, restore it to start fresh with powerful permanent bonuses. Each restoration deepens the ecosystem and pushes you further than before. BUILD YOUR ECOSYSTEM Unlock and upgrade 8 reef buildings — from Solar Water Heaters and Plankton Incubators to the Quantum Reef Scanner. Each one speeds up spawning, boosts production, extends combo windows, and more across three tiers of depth. KEEP IT TIDY Low-level corals can clutter the board and block your merges. Send the Foxface rabbitfish to sweep through and graze them down — clearing space while earning biomass and a little extra. DAILY QUESTS & REWARDS Complete daily quests for gem rewards. Open mystery boxes, spin the random box, and discover hidden species. Log in every day to keep your streak alive! RELAXING BY DESIGN A calm, underwater soundscape, gentle animations, and no pressure. Play actively with satisfying combos, or let it idle in the background. COMPETE & COLLECT • 19 Game Center achievements and 5 leaderboards • Daily login rewards and streak bonuses • Mystery boxes, a random reward minigame, and hidden species to discover Coral Fragger is free to play. Optional in-app purchases let you remove ads or stock up on fish bites, and rewarded ads are always your choice — never required. Download and start restoring your reef today.
