Precious coral
※Off display.

  • Rareness:★★★★

Its distribution and ecology are the same as Corallium japonicum except it is found at slightly greater depths. The colony is tree-like and grows in a single plane fan-like form, but the branches are less evenly spread than Corallium japonicum. The coenenchyme is thick and has a pale pinkish color as does the skeleton, but the tips of its branches are white. There are some larger colonies, but they are uncommon.

Scientific name Pleurocorallium elatius
English name Precious coral
