Yes, corals can move. It depends on the type of coral how they move though some corals move slowly across the area until the find a suitable place while others rely on help from inverts and fish to move.

Coral reefs technically do not move. Corals themselves are sessile creatures, meaning they are immobile and stationed to the same spot. They reproduce sexually, releasing eggs and sperm into the water, where baby corals are created before landing and settling. When corals die, they leave behind the hard calcium structure that comprised their bodies. As this layering process is repeated over and over, the coral reef expands and "moves." Some coral reefs are close to 100 feet thick.
