Koray yo ka tolere yon seri etwat nan kondisyon anviwònman an ak ap viv tou pre limit la anwo nan tolerans tèmik yo. Se poutèt sa, koray yo trè sansib a chanjman nan tanperati lanmè. Tanperati lanmè anòmalman wo (eg, tanperati lanmè 1 – 2 ° C pi plis pase maksimòm sezon ete an mwayèn) kapab lakòz koray klowòks, ref epi li ka lakòz lanmò koray, refize nan kouvèti koray ak orè nan popilasyon lòt òganis ki abite nan Reef yo. Si estrès tèmik la diminye, koray ka refè, men si se estrès la soutni, mòtalite ka rive. SSTs elve tou mennen nan ogmantasyon nan ensidans la koral maladi.

Corals can tolerate a narrow range of environmental conditions and live near the upper limit of their thermal tolerance. Therefore, corals are very sensitive to changes in sea temperature. Abnormally high ocean temperatures (e.g., sea temperatures 1–2°C greater than average summer maxima) can cause coral bleaching, ref and can result in coral mortality, declines in coral cover and shifts in the population of other reef-dwelling organisms. If the thermal stress decreases, corals may recover, but if the stress is sustained, mortality can occur. Elevated SSTs also lead to increases in the incidence of coral disease.
