Some things that are important for the health of a coral reef are the size of the reef what types of coral are next to each other, pH of the water, how much oxygen is present, movement in the water, toxins in the water, reproduction, temperature of the water, food supply, preditors and the age of the coral. Coral is an animal and not a plant.
