I am not trying to pick your words apart I am just shoing the flaw in your logic.
Yes the cycle of life exists but life conquers death, rock can be replaced, live coral not so easy. Even now when they attempt to rebuild reefs they don't have any problems making the structures to hold the corals, it takes hardly any time to make them yet it takes many years to grow the coral.
