Live Coral


Pillar CoarlLive coral is not just one living organism but a large colony of tiny polyps. Each polyp contributes to the whole by building onto the hard limestone skeleton. As the polyp ages and dies a new polyp generation continue the limestone legacy by taking up residence and repeating the process.

Coral is more than just a decorative feature. For many marine enthusiasts coral is as much a part of the aquarium as the fish. The enchanting patterns and hypnotic colors have a dramatic impact on the eye. It is no wonder that demand for live aquarium coral has been on the rise.

Fortunately for the natural coral reefs there is now a lot of coral reproduction achieved through captive breeding.
Stock can be purchased without stripping the oceans thanks to the work by marine biologists and home enthusiasts.

Coral Varieties


From the domed brain corals to the branched staghorn varieties there is a huge range to select from. All corals inhabit warm tropical climates but there are two distinct groups; the hard and the soft corals.

Hard corals are usually more common in the fish tank because of their durability. Examples of this coral group are pillar, brain, star, elkhorn and staghorn. Soft corals are represented by the sea whips, fans and plumes that are sometimes available.


Why People Choose Live Coral


When it comes to coral there are three main choices; live, artificial and dead. Anyone serious about recreating a marine environment has to choose live coral because the other choices are poor substitutions.
