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.

Is the pituitary gland inside or outside of the blood brain barrier?
I believe your understanding ofhe blood/brain barrier is slightly flawed. It is created by the type of blood vessels that supply the brain being largely impermeable, the entire brain isn't kept away form the blood by a barrier there are blood vessels all over it. The vessels that supply the pituitary are far more permable than the ones that suppy the cortex. This is because these vessels must collect the hrmones produced by the gland. In short the answer to yu question is sort of outside but in reality it doens work like that.
