Branch Coral (19”x17”)

The branch coral (Acropora florida) is a species of acroporid coral found in the southwest and northern Indian Ocean, the central Indo-Pacific, Australia, Southeast Asia, Japan and the East China Sea, Cook Islands and the oceanic west Pacific Ocean. It can be found in shallow reefs on the reef tops, walls and slopes to depths of 30 m.

Coral is a wonderful accent piece for your beach or vacation home but is just a stunning in more traditional settings.  We absolutely love mixing coral with our vintage industrial decor, we find it softens the look and the pop of color and organic shapes really add "wow factor" to the industrial look.

No harm was done to the coral reefs to get this coral. It has been aquacultured or grown in tidal pools to be harvested.  They follow strict regulations, just as the timber industry, and replant constantly the coral that is removed.

Treasures from Beneath ONLY sells ocean coral that has been deemed safe by C.I.T.I.E.S., to ensure that international trade in specimens of sea life does not threaten their survival. Much of the sea coral has been farmed for collection which helps coastal coral farming communities.

Please note in the photo, this is natural coral, there may be some irregularities and broken tips from harvesting etc.  You will receive exactly what you see here and it will be very carefully packed for safe shipping.
