What is the wheather like in the coral reef?
It depends on if the reef is tropical or not. Most coral reefs are located in tropical and sub-tropical regions, as corals cannot grow in temperatures lower than about 18 degrees Celsius (64 degrees Fahrenheit). Corals found in cold water such as the Baltic Sea are geological, rather than biological in origin. Similarly, if sea surface temperatures are too high, the coral cannot survive. 31 degrees Celsius (87 degrees F) appears to be about the maximum in which coral can survive without suffering from bleaching. The world's largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef, varies between 22 degrees Celsius and 28 degrees Celsius (71 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit), depending on the season and on how far north, or closer to the equatorial zone, one travels.
