It's a good suggestion, one already done in a mod. Take a look in the forum search some time or just search minecraft coral mod in google.
Yes, I did just say "There is a mod for that" before the nazis come over and drag me to the gulag. But there ARE coral mods (One known as Coral Reef especially) that at one point or another worked in Minecraft. To the OP, pursue it through the Minecraft search to see if it's current up to Minecraft 1.1. Might not be, but it would be interesting to see what coral looks like with the GSGL water shader. :tongue.gif:
I like the idea, ever since Minecraft came out, underwater has just been sooo boring. Then suddenly somewhere when mobs were added came the squid that just floated around and did nothing. not that you would really care if u were playing 1.8 or below because half the time, its soo dark underwater you can't even see them. They did do a mod on it and Jeb would probably take the idea, he is more mod receptive like the pistons.
This is a great idea. I agree with Drmcwoofies, underwater has ALWAYS been booring. Coral would real at some life to it. It would be nice if the water was clearer though.
People keep complaining that the Ocean needs more aesthetically pleasing aspects. Well, there ya go!

Diver mod (1.0.0)
There is a mod for this! Downgrade Minecraft to 1.0 until the forum post updates for 1.1 / 1.2 / whatever and play around with that.
There is no intent by any of the developers to add coral into the game, so quit asking about it.
