Rising sea temperatures due to global warming and human activities in Indonesia threaten coral reef sustainability, leading to bleaching and mass mortality. In 2016, 50% of coral colonies in Gili Matra experienced bleaching, 11% were pale, and 1% faced mortality. To mitigate damage, controlled coral cultivation in isolated media offers an alternative to open-ocean methods, allowing precise water quality management. Coral transplantation, involving fragmentation and placement in controlled environments, enhances rehabilitation efforts. An IoT-based controller enables real-time monitoring and automation of life-support systems, including supplementation pumps, photosynthetic lamps, top-up pumps, cooling fans, and current pumps. System performance shows consistent lamp scheduling, supplementation dosage with a deviation of ±1-2%, precise top-up activation, current pump scheduling with a 1s deviation, and optimal water parameters (alkalinity 8.3 dKH, calcium 420 ppm, magnesium 1050 ppm, salinity 1.025).
