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.
Actually many different types of fish eat coral. Butterflies, angelfish, filefish, and parrotfish are some of the more common coral eaters.
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.
