Oil is lighter than water, how would it damage coral if only a certain amount is dumped?

Intertidal corals are the most vulnerable, since oil on the surface of the water is deposited directly on the coral reef when the tide is low. Branching corals also are more susceptible to damage from oil in contrast to larger plate-like corals. All corals are vulnerable, however, because oil can mix with sediment or thin out from sun exposure and sink. The oil literally smothers the coral. Originally Posted by BooBearSH
