Most do not appear to, but there is at least one species that does. This species in question is known as the Parrot Fish, which feeds on coral and a wide variety of other reef organisms.
Some coral reef fish, such as certain species of gobies and blennies, feed on small amounts of bacteria found in the sediment and on coral surfaces. These bacteria provide a source of nutrients for these fish and help them to maintain a balanced diet. However, bacteria are not the primary source of food for most coral reef fish.
Parrot fish, they don't intentionally eat it, they want the algae growing off it but they eat the coral along with the algae.

Most fish do not eat live coral as it is hard and not very nutritious. However, some fish, such as the butterflyfish and parrotfish, may nip at coral polyps or feed on coral mucus. These interactions typically do not harm the coral if kept in balance with the ecosystem.
Yes, only some fish eat coral though.
Animals that eat coral are fish, bacteria, angelfish, butterfly fish, parrotfish, sea slugs are some animals that eat coral.
parrot fish eat coral
fish could be a good example of interdependence, as the fish eat of the coral and the coral live off the fish. Hope i am right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some fish eat of the coral reefs, but they do not live on or in the coral reefs. But every fish living on or in the coral reef has a job to do that protects it from the intrudors.

It's a fish eat fish world, and you're in a coral reef my friend
Only some types of fish.
No there are very few animals that eat coral because of their very hard shell. Some fish have hard parrot-like beaks and eat the coral, and some starfish digest the inside part of the coral.
