eli5 Why cant coral reefs just move further away from the equator If there losing there habitat to warmer sea temperatures?

A whole forest can’t get up and move a bunch of miles away. The same can be said for reefs. They grow, like, a few centimeters every year? It would take years to make any progress in moving. On top of that, it’s not just the temperature that is the problem. (Although I’m fairly sure that it is a big one.)
