Coral reefs thrive in marine environments with a salt concentration of approximately 30 to 40 parts per thousand (ppt). This salinity level is typical of open ocean waters, where corals have adapted to flourish. Lower or higher salinity can stress corals and disrupt their growth and reproduction. Thus, maintaining the appropriate salt level is crucial for the health of coral reef ecosystems.

What is the difference between coral reef and reef?

A coral reef is a community of organisms that exist in shallower ocean depths. The key component is coral, which often forms the foundation of the reef ecosystem. Coral species may either be photosynthetic or non-photosynthetic, however, the foundational species as well as the predominant majority are often photosynthetic. Most people define a 'reef' as a 'coral reef', but there are however manmade reefs, often called artificial reefs. These reefs are usually made from scrap material such as bridge rubble, or sunken ships. I would also call underwater rock formations that are often inhabited by various marine species a type of reef as well.
