'''Coral fans''' are non-solid blocks that come in 5 variants: tube, brain, bubble, fire, and horn.

== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Coral fans can be mined instantly but can be obtained only when mined with a [[Silk Touch]] enchanted tool. Breaking coral fans without Silk Touch destroys the coral fan.
{{breaking row|Coral Fan|drop=0|sprite=coral-fans|horizontal=1}}

=== Natural generation ===
Coral fans naturally generate in [[coral reef]] structures.

{{block distribution}}

=== Post-generation ===
==== Bone meal ====
When [[bone meal]] is {{ctrl|used}} in [[warm ocean]] biomes, it has a chance of generating coral fans.

=== Wall Coral Fans ===
Wall coral fans cannot be obtained through vanilla means {{in|bedrock}} except through add-ons or inventory editing, though the item form is badly glitched to the point of being completely nameless.

== Usage ==
Coral fans can be used for building or as decoration blocks.

=== Placement ===
All coral fans can be placed on the four sides and the top surface of blocks; they cannot be placed on the bottom surface.

==== Water ====
In order for coral fans to stay alive, they must be placed in [[water]]. {{IN|java}}, coral fans can also be placed outside of water as long as one of the blocks surrounding it contains water. If placed outside of water, they transform into their respective [[dead coral fan]] immediately{{only|bedrock}} or after 3 to 4.95 seconds{{only|Java}}. Once a coral fan dies, it is not possible to turn a dead coral fan back into a live coral fan.

=== Pushing with pistons ===
Live coral fans cannot be pushed by [[piston]]s (attempting to do so results in the coral fan breaking).
