I was searching for literal hours in warm oceans and had shulker boxes full of tridents. The wiki says 50% of trident drowned spawn with a jockey. I was skeptical, so I duplicated the world and made a command that teleports any zombie nautiluses to me. 0 coral ones showed up. I tried again, switching to Creative and using a command block. Same Normal difficulty. Sure enough, one teleported to me within a few seconds, which means they do not spawn in Survival at all. For some reason, coral zombie nautiluses only spawn in creative mode.
Steps to reproduce:
Teleport to a warm ocean biome. Use /tp @a @e[type=zombie_nautilus]. For the creative part, set down a repeating command block with “always active” and the same command.
Expected result:
Coral Zombie Nautiluses spawn in Survival.
Actual result:
No Coral Zombie Nautiluses spawn in Survival.

What is the spawn rate then? I already told you, they don’t spawn in survival mode. Why are you saying they do?
Hi!
Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Invalid.
The spawn rate of the Coral Zombie Nautilus is rare however, it can still be observed spawning naturally.
