Only salt water not brackish or fresh fresh and brackish water kills the polyps
Coral reefs are found in saltwater environments such as oceans and seas. They require a specific salinity level to survive and thrive, which is not typically found in freshwater environments.
saltwater in the reefs
No, true coral is typically found in marine environments, not in freshwater. Coral reefs are formed by colonies of tiny animals called coral polyps that require specific conditions found in saltwater to thrive.
Clownfish are saltwater fish that live in coral reefs and are found in warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They have a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, where they are immune to their venomous stings. Clownfish cannot survive in freshwater environments.
Large mouth bass are primarily freshwater fish found in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, rather than in coral reefs, which are marine environments. They thrive in warm, slow-moving waters and are not adapted to the saltwater conditions of coral reef ecosystems. Coral reefs typically host a diverse range of marine species, but large mouth bass are not among them.
It lives in saltwater...it can't survive freshwater.
While some saltwater fish, most notably damselfish, can be slowly converted to fresh water, coral are more sensitive, and no known species can live in even brackish water. Check out Pine lake Alberta southeast of Red Deer. It has freshwater "coral", but they are actually stramatolites. It looks like Brain Coral. This is a popular SCUBA diving spot in the region. There are also species of freshwater jellyfish, which is close to coral on the family tree. Freshwater jellyfish usually live in the coastal areas, in rivers and lakes.

of course where there is saltwater and coral reefs there are clown fish
Parrotfish is a common name. There are freshwater parrot fish and saltwater parrot fish. The Freshwater parrot fish are a man made hybrid and do not exist in the wild naturally. The Saltwater parrot fish come from coral reefs in the Indo-pacific.
Two types of water biomes are freshwater biomes, such as rivers, lakes, and ponds, and marine biomes, which include oceans, coral reefs, and estuaries. Each biome has its distinct characteristics and supports diverse ecosystems of plants and animals.
