Coral Organisms
|
Live coral is highly sought after for aquaria. Given the proper ecosystem, live coral makes a stunning addition to any salt water aquarium. Soft corals are easier to maintain in captivity than hard corals.
Isididae may be usable as living bone implants and in aquatic cultivation, because of their potential to mimic valuable biological properties.
• In jewelry
Coral's many colors give it appeal for necklaces and other jewelry. Intensely red coral is prized as a gemstone. It is sometimes called fire coral, but is not the same as fire coral. Red coral is very rare because of overharvesting due to the great demand for perfect specimens.
