A heterotroph. Polyps (The actual living part of the coral. The hard rock like structure of coral is a by-product of the polyp's growth) within the coral use microscopic filaments drift in the water and catch phytoplankton that drifts past. This mainly occurs at night.

There isn't really an organism that is composed of individual organisms. It is possible that the question is referring to a coral reef, which is made of the bodies of dead polyps that live on the reef and detach at night to eat. However, a coral reef is not one organism, but a formation made of billions of small organisms.
During nightfall, the coral reef is able to emerge from it shelters in safety. Larvae will also hatch and disperse at night into the plankton.
So they don't need a flashlight at night!
Yes - Coral Snakes are venomous - they feed during the day when their bodies have warmed up.

They will eat, will retract their polyps if touched, will expand during the day and shrink during the night, and they will grow.
Being nocturnal allows animals to avoid predators and competition for resources during the day, giving them a unique evolutionary advantage. This adaptation also allows nocturnal animals to take advantage of night-time resources that diurnal animals cannot access. Overall, the ability to be active at night provides nocturnal animals with opportunities for survival and success in their environments.
Coral reefs mainly get their energy from the sunlight using photosynthesis.
