Coral predasyon se yon lòt mekanis ki ka fasilite transmisyon maladi nan popilasyon koray dans. Predatè yo ka aji kòm vektè pa transmisyon oral oswa fekal nan ajan patojèn. ref Pou egzanp, se maladi bann nwa yo te panse jalouzi nan prezans yo ki gen korayivorous.ref Lòt korayiv yo, tankou gastropòd la Drupella spp., yo sispèk ogmante pousantaj la a ki se maladi a gaye nan enfekte nan ki pa enfekte koloni. ref Lòt vektè koray-maladi yo se fireworm la, Hermodice carunculata, ki gen zantray ki te jwenn pò Vibrio shiloi (patojèn la ki te pwopoze klowòks blanch nan kèk koray Mediterane) ref ak butterflyfish, ki pò yon trematode (parazit platworm) ki enfekte Porites. ref

Coral predation is another mechanism that may facilitate disease transmission in dense coral populations. Predators can act as vectors by oral or fecal transmission of pathogens. ref For example, black band disease is thought to ﬂourish in the presence of corallivorous ﬁshes.ref Other corallivores, such as the gastropod Drupella spp., are suspected to increase the rate at which the disease is spread from infected to non-infected colonies. ref Other coral-disease vectors are the fireworm, Hermodice carunculata, whose gut has been found to harbor Vibrio shiloi (the pathogen inducing bacterial bleaching in some Mediterranean coral) ref and butterflyfish, which harbor a trematode (parasitic flatworm) that infects Porites. ref
