Se konvnab la nan yon sifas pou règleman koray detèmine pa pwopriyete chimik oswa byolojik nan sifas la. Prezans alg ka anpil redwi sivivan ak siksè règleman nan koray planulae. Yon etid resan sou komen Awaya resif bilding koray la Montipora capitata te jwenn yon relasyon negatif ant dansite nan koray istwa bonè lavi (polip 1-3) ak alg charnèl. Planulae ki fè rezoud nan zòn alg-domine pa sèlman soufri soti nan ogmante endirèk, alg-pwovoke mòtalite, men tou fè eksperyans pi ba siksè rekritman kòm alg yo fasil sèvi kòm substrate ki estab pou kwasans koray nan lavni. ref

The suitability of a surface for coral settlement is determined by chemical or biological properties of the surface. The presence of algae can greatly reduce survivorship and settlement success of coral planulae. A recent study of the common Hawaiian reef-building coral Montipora capitata found a negative relationship between density of early life history corals (1-3 polyps) and fleshy algae. Planulae that do settle in algal-dominated areas not only suffer from increased indirect, algal-induced mortality, but also experience lower recruitment success as algae are unlikely to serve as stable substratum for future coral growth. ref
