They grow as much as 4.5 cm year. But colonies of coral grow as much as 10 cm a year
Given that a coral reef is already underwater, it doesn't really matter. And the precipitation doesn't reach the reef anyway.
Typically, none.
"Given that a coral reef is already underwater, it doesn't really matter. And the precipitation doesn't reach the reef anyway."How_much_precipitation_does_the_coral_reef_receive_in_a_yearOn average is 80 inches of rainfall per year above the coral reef.

The rainforest gets about 12 hours per day of sunlight.

Coral reefs are all in tropical waters, so they would be warm all the year round, but, yes, they do have seasonal changes.
The seasons in coal reefs are warm all year round all of the time.
Less than half an inch! That's why it's illegal to take it from the ocean.
