Best Answer

It means exactly what it means today. Look it up in any old dictionary. Or any new dictionary.

E.g.

Full fathom five thy father lies;

Of his bones are coral made;

Those are pearls that were his eyes:

Nothing of him that doth fade

But doth suffer a sea-change

Into something rich and strange.

You will also note that the colour "coral" is a pinky-orangey-red, which explains why Shakespeare talks about "coral lips" a lot.
