Why is Bermuda sand pink?

—Bermuda’s pink sand comes from a species of red foraminifera which is a marine organism growing on the coral reefs surrounding the island. The red foraminifera breaks off into the white sand because of fish feeding on the algae growing on the coral as well as with the power of the water moving around. This red/pink organism is what makes Bermuda’s sand pink.
