You would know if coral is under physical stress if it is bleached. Coral bleaching occurs when the coral polyps (the miniscule animals that coral is made of) expel their algal cells, and the coral looks white. If the coral stays bleached for too long, then it can die.

Why are corals called stingers?
Some species of coral are actually poisonous. Coral is composed of tiny little animals called polyps, that create the hard, white skeleton we know to be a coral reef. The tissues of the polyps create the unique colors of each species of coral as they live together in groups, but some species carry toxins. When brushed or scraped against, the polyps in the coral skeleton will release their toxins as a method of self defense. This can be quite painful and can cause serious rashes, allergic reactions, infections and scarring. Wounds from poisonous corals must be treated immediately with antibiotics to prevent increased tissue damage.

In Vietnam what color is the coral rattler or 2 step snake?
One snake was called a "Two-step" by GI's, because the word was you could only walk two steps after being bitten before you died. This may have been a myth to keep GI's alert in the bush, because there are no known snakes in the world that can kill that fast. We know it as a coral snake. The fastest known killer, Africa's Black Mamba, can kill in about 2-1/2 minutes if bitten directly into a major artery or vein that goes straight to the heart. Anyways, the Coral snake are a large group of elapid snakes that can be subdivided into two distinct groups, Old World coral snakes and New World coral snakes. Red on yellow is the term that the snake is real and red on black is a snake that looks like a coral snakes.
