The Island Estate Coral

A 16-inch Vintage Catspaw Coral with a cut base that sits securely on a shelf or mantle. This Pocillopora palifera specimen is often called Catspaw, cluster, or cauliflower coral, and each piece has its own natural variation.

Color and display notes: an off-white body with pink dots through the branches and base. The medium size makes it an ideal focal element for displays, shelves, or mantles, and it can be viewed from multiple angles to highlight its intricate form.
