Lavil koray dispèse avèk kouran oseyan yo epi yo bezwen jwenn yon substra apwopriye pou yo rezoud epi sibi metamòfoz polip prensipal la. Nan anviwònman natirèl la, lav koray sèvi ak yon myriad nan siyal konplèks (tankou limyè, son, teksti sifas, ak siy chimik) yo chwazi ki kote sou Reef a yo pral rete ak ap viv, ki kapab pou dè santèn de ane. Pou restorasyon lè l sèvi avèk pwopagasyon lar, règleman an siksè nan koray nouvo sou resif yo se kritik pou ankouraje rekiperasyon Reef. Ankouraje règleman nan lav kilt se souvan fè nan de fason: dirèkteman sou Reef a oswa sou substrats atifisyèl pou pita enplantasyon.

Coral larvae disperse with ocean currents and need to find a suitable substrate to settle and undergo metamorphosis to the primary polyp. In the natural environment, coral larvae use a myriad of complex cues (such as light, sound, surface texture, and chemical cues) to choose where on the reef they will settle and live, potentially for hundreds of years. For restoration using larval propagation, the successful settlement of new corals onto the reefs is critical for encouraging reef recovery. Encouraging settlement of cultured larvae is commonly done in two ways: directly onto the reef or onto artificial substrates for later outplanting.
