Usually during the month of November coral spawn in the Great Barrier Reef area, during night time.
About 75% of all hermatypic corals "broadcast spawn" by releasing eggs.
Most coral colonies reproduce by releasing eggs and sperm into the water simultaneously, a process known as broadcast spawning. This synchronized mass spawning event usually occurs once a year. Additionally, some coral species can reproduce asexually through methods such as fragmentation or budding.
Brain coral live mostly in the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Red Sea. These coral reproduce asexually, which means that they do not need and egg and sperm to reproduce.

Yes, corals can reproduce sexually through a process called spawning. During spawning, corals release eggs and sperm into the water simultaneously, allowing fertilization to occur externally. This process leads to the formation of new coral colonies.
It can't. But it might attract spawning coral from other reefs to settle on it.

Corals reproduce both sexually and asexually.
Because its the time of year when they reproduce!
Coral reefs form as coral polyps secrete calcium carbonate to create hard skeletons that build up over time. These skeletons create the structure and foundation for the reef, which then grows as more coral polyps settle and reproduce on top of existing skeletons. Over time, this process creates the diverse and intricate ecosystems we know as coral reefs.
There is no specific time of year. The female will come into season at various times, depending on what time of year it is when she first matures.
