Coral is a minor character in Disney/Pixar's 2003 animated film, Finding Nemo.
Appearances
Finding Nemo
In Finding Nemo, Coral was Marlin's mate and Nemo's mother. She was shown at the beginning of the movie, and she and Marlin swam down below their sea anemone to a small cave where there were hundreds of baby clownfish eggs. Marlin then decided to name half the kids Marlin, Jr. and the other half Coral, Jr. However, Coral says that she likes "Nemo" better, so Marlin says that he'll only name one egg "Nemo" because he wants most of them to be Marlin, Jr. When Coral wondered why Marlin was looking at her the way he did, Marlin told Coral how they first met and made Coral laugh so hard that she tried to get away from Marlin by swimming out of the anemone.
When Marlin swam out after her, he saw Coral staring at a barracuda, then told her to get back into the house. Despite Marlin's attempts to get her to go inside their home, she rushed down to protect the children, and the barracuda went after her. Marlin fended the barracuda off from eating him but it then slapped him with its tail knocking him out in his anemone. With Marlin unconscious the barracuda ate her and her eggs and presumably while it was eating them one egg fell out of its mouth.
When Marlin later regained consciousness that night, he discovered that Coral and all but one of their eggs were gone, as they had been eaten by the barracuda. As Marlin cried over his wife and children’s deaths he found the lone egg and named it "Nemo", to honor his wife's wish to name one of their children "Nemo".
