Estati a nan koray yo lè yo anplantasyon se tou yon konsiderasyon enpòtan. Koray yo pa ta dwe enplantasyon si yo montre nenpòt ki kondisyon nòmal tankou resan pèt tisi, dekolorasyon, pal / klowòks, oswa parazit. Paske nan depans sa yo nan kenbe koray nan yon pepinyè, li pi bon yo koruptyon enplantasyon le pli vit ke yo gwo ase yo gen yon bon chans pou yo siviv apre transplantasyon. Evidans sijere ke pi gwo koloni gen pi bon pousantaj siviv apre yo fin plant yo kòm yo kapab kenbe tèt ak ak simonte yon pati nan mòtalite, predasyon ak fwagmantasyon koloni pi bon pase pi piti koloni yo. ref Pifò pwojè jodi a jwenn bon siksè pa enplantasyon koray branch tankou 5-15 dyamèt cm pou koray branch ak 4-5 cm dyamèt pou masiv, espès boulder.

The status of corals when they are outplanted is also an important consideration. Corals should not be outplanted if they exhibit any abnormal conditions such as recent tissue loss, discoloration, paling/bleaching, or parasites. Because of the costs of maintaining corals in a nursery, it is best to outplant corals as soon as they are large enough to have a good chance of survival after transplantation. Evidence suggests that larger colonies have better survival rates after outplanting as they are able to withstand and overcome partial mortality, predation and colony fragmentation better than smaller colonies. ref Most projects today find good success by outplanting branching corals between 5-15 cm diameter for branching corals and 4-5 cm diameter for massive, boulder species.
