White coral POCILLOPORA EYDOUXI
CO515-6
POCILLOPORA EYDOUXI, commonly known as cauliflower coral, grows in the shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific, where sunlight is strongest. It develops in rounded masses that can grow much larger than those of its close relative POCILLOPORA MEANDRINA, which is generally more compact. The living polyps, often brown-pink, cover granular branch tips that give the coral its distinctive texture.
Once deprived of its polyps, only the mineralised skeleton remains: a brilliant white structure that reveals all the complexity of its architecture.
Displayed on a brass base, this coral naturally finds its place in a cabinet of curiosities.
Each specimen comes with its CITES certificate, the mandatory document attesting to its legal provenance. Such authorised pieces are becoming increasingly rare, a natural consequence of stricter international protections.
