We're only now barely figuring out how to "grow" coral effectively in the present day, and even then it's having mixed results. Coral isn't like a plant or a single animal: it's a colonial organism, which means any given part of a coral reef consists of thousands of individual polyps living together. So busting bits off of a coral structure as a "crop" to sell would basically be extremely harmful to the whole thing and scuttle andy attempts at growth. Furthermore, coral is extremely sensitive to changes in light and water quality. I don't think growing coral with ancient/medieval technology is feasable.
