Not daft at all Susan, I expect it sinks deeper than the reef and will be unable to pass over it. Like an Iceberg is two thirds underwater, you only ever see the one third...

It was in the article I quoted. Marine life attaches itself to the pumice and will help repopulate the reef. Not my area of expertise but the article explained it well. The pumice will presumably wash up on the beaches, it is not uncommon on some beaches but it soon breaks up in the surf
