A relative of the sea snakes and the most deadly serpents there are. The Coral is not very aggressive and has small fangs in the "back" of it's jaw. They have to sort of chew on something to get the venom in there. But it is some bad stuff, a nerve agent.
Some old boy was playing with one thinking it was a King Snake or Corn Snake and got bit. Took his time going to the Dr. and was in a vegetative state a good while, he won't fully recover but he's alive last I heard. Not worth messing with as dangerous as they are. But you don't want to step on it bare footed either. I'd have carefully herded it into a large trash can in a safe manner and called the local University Biology dept. Not being a"Viper" they do NOT have cat eyes and sport round pupils like a "non-poisonous" species. All Cobras do! Ditto Mambas!

Man Coral snakes are super rare, actually Cobra or Kraits.
