Is scoring a card mandatory when you play it or when you are at the hand limit?
The rulebook says you may score the pattern, and the hand-limit note says you must perform action B.
- Reef rulebook · Rulebook · B — Play a card from your hand to grow your reef and (if possible) score a pattern
- Reef rulebook · Rulebook · A — Take a card from the card display (or from the deck) into your hand

No. Scoring the pattern is optional, but placing the two coral pieces from a played card is mandatory. At the 4-card hand limit you must play a card, so that placement still happens.
