Fire corals are colonial marine organisms that look rather like real coral. Technically they are not corals, since they are more closely related to Hydra and other hydrozoans.

What would happen if coral reef cut you?

You would have a cut. lol. It depends on the type of reef. For example one type of reef is commonly called "Fire Coral". This is because it has a toxic, outer layer. If it makes contact with your skin, your skin will burn like fire (not litteraly, if will just FEEL like fire, not actually start a fire). If you get cut by Fire Coral, the toxins could get inside your bloodsream and kill you. On the other hand, some coral is harmless, and if you get a cut, nothing drastic will happen, except for having the cut. Hope this helps :)
