Coral

Corals are non-solid blocks that come in five variants: tube, brain, bubble, fire, and horn.

Dead corals are the dead variants of coral.

Natural generation
Corals can be mined instantly, but can be obtained only when mined with a Silk Touch enchanted tool.

Corals naturally generate in coral reef structures found in warm ocean biomes.

Post-generation
When using bone meal on dirt, coarse dirt, sand, red sand or gravel underwater, coral generates in place of some of the seagrass. However, this works only in warm ocean biomes.

Dead coral is created when coral is placed out of water.

Info
Corals can be used as a building or decoration block. If it isn't adjacent to a water block, it quickly transforms into dead coral. If at any time the block above a coral is removed (such as by using a bucket to remove a water source block or by breaking a solid or transparent block) and not immediately replaced with water (which can flow into the block or be left behind when a waterlogged block is broken), the coral breaks and drops nothing.

Dead coral
In order for coral to stay alive, at least one of the blocks surrounding it must be water. If placed outside of water, it dies and transform into its respective dead coral after a few seconds.
