Red coral TUBIPORA MUSICA
CO976
This red coral belongs to the species TUBIPORA MUSICA, commonly known as organ pipe coral. The name TUBIPORA, derived from the Latin tubus (“tube”), refers to the coral’s tubular calcareous skeleton arranged in vertical bundles that resemble the pipes of an organ.
Underwater, these red tubes are covered by white polyps — tiny animals living at the end of each tube and feeding by filtering plankton. When the polyps retract, the dark red calcareous skeleton, naturally colored, becomes visible — a rare feature among corals.
Native to the Solomon Islands, this species is regulated under CITES Appendix II. Each specimen comes with its CITES certificate number, ensuring traceable and compliant origin.
Displayed on a black base, this marine curiosity is a collector’s coral that naturally finds its place in any cabinet of curiosities.
