Technically touching corals once in a while doesn't make them die; they are delicate, and it damages them, but they can usually recover. The reason why you are asked not to touch them on the coral reef is that if everyone touched them then the small bit of damage done by each touch would add up, causing the coral to eventually die. One touch or two is relatively harmless, but many touches is deadly.
