Globally coral reefs are in decline, largely driven by local anthropogenic pressures combined with broader cumulative impacts from climate change. Coral aquaculture will play an important role in active reef restoration and attempts to preserve some semblance of coral reefs in highly impacted areas. Achieving maximum growth and survivorship of cultured corals is necessary to achieve optimal results. This is not possible without the study of coral pests and diseases which can be detrimental to coral health. Here we review the complex relationships between corals and their associated symbiotic organisms, identify invertebrates that may harm the corals and suggest known management techniques in captivity. Groups considered included acoels (Xenacoelomorpha: Acoela), digeneans (Trematoda: Digenea), polyclads (Rhabditophora: Polycladida), gastropods (Mollusca: Gastropoda), decapods (Malacostraca: Decapoda), copepods (Hexanauplia: Copepoda) and pyrgomatids (Cirripedia: Pyrgomatidae). There are few empirically validated management techniques for coral pests, particularly in terms of large‐scale aquaculture, emphasizing the need for further directed research in this area. Information generated through the ornamental trade and hobbyists is valuable to inform future research direction targeted towards captive coral husbandry, reef ecosystem management and restoration strategies.

影响珊瑚健康的寄生虫和与珊瑚相关的无脊椎动物

全球范围内的珊瑚礁正在减少，主要是由当地人为压力以及气候变化带来的更广泛的累积影响所致。珊瑚水产养殖将在活跃的珊瑚礁恢复中发挥重要作用，并试图在受灾严重的地区保留一些相似的珊瑚礁。为达到最佳效果，必须实现养殖珊瑚的最大生长和生存。如果不研究可能对珊瑚健康有害的珊瑚虫和疾病，这是不可能的。在这里，我们回顾了珊瑚及其相关共生生物之间的复杂关系，确定了可能损害珊瑚的无脊椎动物，并提出了圈养中已知的管理技术。所考虑的群体包括acoels（Xenacoelomorpha：Acoela），digeneans（Trematoda：Digenea），polyclads（Rhabditophora：Polycladida），腹足纲（软体动物：腹足纲），十足纲（马拉科斯特拉：十足纲），co足纲（六足纲：Co足纲）和拟蝇足纲（卷柏：Pyrgomatidae）。经实践验证的珊瑚害虫防治技术很少，特别是在大规模水产养殖方面，强调需要在这一领域进行进一步的直接研究。通过观赏贸易和爱好者获得的信息对于指导针对圈养珊瑚，珊瑚礁生态系统管理和恢复策略的未来研究方向非常有价值。强调需要在这一领域进行进一步的定向研究。通过观赏贸易和爱好者获得的信息对于指导针对圈养珊瑚，珊瑚礁生态系统管理和恢复策略的未来研究方向非常有价值。强调需要在这一领域进行进一步的直接研究。通过观赏贸易和业余爱好者产生的信息对于指导针对圈养珊瑚，珊瑚礁生态系统管理和恢复策略的未来研究方向非常有价值。
