I do not know how often it happens but i don know that it effects coral and the fish or other sea animals that inside and among it. The way it Effects the coral is by coral bleaching. When water temp. gets above about 70 to 75 degrees the coral goes into "survival mode". The zooxanthellea that live inside the coral produce toxins, therefore the coral must kick its mian source of food out of its boy starving istelf to death.

El Nino events occur irregularly, typically every 2 to 7 years, and can last for several months to a couple of years. They affect global weather patterns by causing above-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, leading to changes in precipitation, temperature, and storm patterns around the world.

How does El Nino influence the weather in Eastern Australia?

El Nino brings drought conditions to eastern Australia. These effects often last for several years, and they are by no means restricted to the eastern states. Lack of rainfall accompanying an El Nino can also affect the west coast, bordering the Indian Ocean. Australia's severe bushfire seasons are often preceded by the El Nino phenomena, extending for any number of years. This was the case in the 1982-83 season, leading to the horrific Ash Wednesday bushfires, and again in 2008-09, leading to the even worse Victorian "Black Saturday" bushfires.
