Depends on if you actually have a Coral Albino or not. IMO too many high colored/pastel-ish looking albinos (no doubt fine looking animals) are being mislabeled as corals. Pete Kahl labeled them as such from a random occurrence. He has a picture of one on his site at Albino Boas at the bottom of the page.
It looks nothing like these red flushed animals labeled as corals now a days. I saw Pete's in person, I even bought one of his daughters in '99, and still have her today. She's not coral, but she did produce a couple in '06, and they look more like the one Pete showed me. Marble like, not totally flushed out, but more like this...




Again, not dissing anyones animals. Just confused enough about the coral trait as it is, since no real research has been done on the nature of it.
According to the read at the link provided by Boa Morphs, (I read your pages, and they are interesting no doubt. Well written.) BUT those are part Suri, which are sorta known for pink, no? Perhaps the albino gene just let it show through?

Anyway, not trying to stir the pot, trying to add some food for thought.
