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.
