Appendix 1 lists species that are most threatened with extinction; Appendix 2 lists species that may become so threatened without control in traffic; and Appendix 3 lists species "included at the request of a Party that already regulates trade in the species and that needs the cooperation of other countries to prevent unsustainable or illegal exploitation". Anyhow so "corals" aren't necessarily 1, 2 or 3 but may be listed in any of these categories depending on the individual species and where how endangered that species may currently be. For example there are 181 "Acropora" species listed, most of which are Appendix 2 but I'm sure there are some in 1 and some in 3 as well.
