How do I tell if my Coral has died? Does it disentigrate like Anemones?

not aways depends on the coral.
what kind of coral do you have. some just close up others can close up for months at a time and others just slowly disapear.

If it is a big enough coral, a simple smell test will tell you if it is dead, most times.

I have Green Ricordea Polyps and Green Star Polyps.

if it's the shrrooms or the star polyps your speaking of??? they will disappear before your very eyes!!

If they look unhealthy, take a turkey baster and blow some water on them. you should be able to tell if there's a problem
