A Blue Coral specimen, Heliopora coerula

Item Details

Description

A Blue Coral specimen
Heliopora coerula (Pallas, 1766)
Shallow reefs near Guadalcanal Island
Solomon Islands, South Pacific
A species of colonial coral, Heliopora coerula is the only octocoral known to produce a massive skeleton. This skeleton is formed of aragonite. Individual polyps live in tubes within the skeleton and are connected by a thin layer of tissue over the outside of the skeleton.
10 x 10 x 3in (25.5 x 25.5 x 7.5cm)
Footnote:
Iron salts give the skeleton of Heliopora coerulea its unique color, which allows for easy recognition in fossil outcrops as well. It is fairly abundant within paleontology, with fossils indicating the species has remained unchanged since the Cretaceous period. Blue coral has shown a particular resistance to thermal changes in their environments and have actually grown more in warmer temperatures.
