Dead Fire Coral Block
minecraft:dead_fire_coral_blockDead Fire Coral Block is the lifeless, grayscale form of Fire Coral Block, produced when the living block is placed outside of water or loses its adjacent water source.

FAQ
Do I need Silk Touch to mine Dead Fire Coral Block?
No. Any pickaxe, wooden or better, mines it and it always drops itself.
Can it be turned back into living coral?
No. Once fire coral dies and becomes this block, it cannot be restored to its living state.
Does it still deal fire damage like living fire coral?
No. The damaging touch effect only applies to the living fire coral block; the dead variant is purely decorative.
What tool breaks it fastest?
A higher-tier pickaxe reduces breaking time significantly, from about 7.5 seconds by hand down to roughly 0.2–0.25 seconds with a golden or netherite pickaxe.
