White Millepora Exaesa Fire Coral
Millepora exaesa, commonly known as fire coral, is a remarkable hydrozoan species from the Solomon Islands, mounted on a black lacquered wood base that combines natural marine architecture with refined presentation. Its vibrant yellow-green coloration is exceptionally rare among corals, making this form particularly striking and highly sought after. Belonging to the Millepora family, fire corals are known among divers for their powerful defensive mechanism; despite their coral-like appearance, they are not true corals but hydrozoans, with each tiny pore releasing defensive polyps capable of delivering a sting upon contact. This piece is accompanied by its own official CITES number, ensuring full legal and sustainable sourcing, and stands as an exceptional decorative statement blending rarity, marine science, and natural artistry.

Composition: Natural, Brass Stand
