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.
