Acropora is a genus of small polyp stony coral in the phylum Cnidaria. Some of its species are known as table coral, elkhorn coral, and staghorn coral. Over 149 species are described. Acropora species are some of the major reef corals responsible for building the immense calcium carbonate substructure that supports the thin living skin of a reef.
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.
