While some Saltwater Fish, most notably damselfish, can be slowly converted to fresh water, coral are more sensitive, and no known species can live in even brackish water.
Check out Pine lake Alberta southeast of Red Deer. It has freshwater "coral", but they are actually stramatolites. It looks like Brain Coral. This is a popular Scuba diving spot in the region.
There are also species of freshwater jellyfish, which is close to coral on the family tree. Freshwater jellyfish usually live in the coastal areas, in rivers and lakes.

How does coral help an aquarium?
1. It gives the little fish a place to hide from the bigger fish, and a place for any fish to hang out. 2. Living coral in a marine tank will filter out algae from the water 3. It looks fantastic! it ads color to your seascape. 4. anenomes will attach to it and add even more diversity to your tank coral in a fresh water tank will release toxic amounts of salt. Once algae grows in the coral it is nearly impossible to clean and looks really crappy.
