The question about "how did coral propagate across many thousands of miles of open ocean?" is indeed interesting. But it questions theory of evolution itself, independently from ice age theory.

It's directly related to your claim, although I understand perfectly why you would want to ignore the relationship. You imply that coral can't possibly have propagated across the 550 km to Lord Howe island since the last ice age ended, but Jokiel's research clearly shows that coral can propagate many thousands of miles. You're obviously and plainly wrong in suggesting that it can't propagate 350 miles or so in 10,000 years, considering that pumice from Krakatoa's 1883 eruption has been found all over the Pacific.
