Considering that the majority of "hermatypic" corals depend on their host bacteria cells called "Zooxanthellae" (plural, pronounced /ˌzoʊ.əzænˈθɛliː/) to provide nourishment and a foundation for their external body structure, I would say that it is sufficiently impossible for coral to propagate and continue growing inside the human body as the necessary light requirements would not allow for survival of the zooxanthellae bacteria. Coral typically survives in the shallow regions of tropical waters where a large majority of blue/green light is still able to penetrate the crystal clear water and give the zooxanthellae bacteria its life source.
