Sculpture authentique en IVOIRE BROUSSE CORAL sur à prix réduit support en verre, boîtier en verre déco maison

This is an Ivory Coral Sculpture on Glass Stand & back with case.

This specific coral is called the ‘Oculina varicosa,' or the ivory bush coral.

This is a scleractinian deep-water coral primarily found at depths of 70-100m, and ranges from Bermuda and Cape Hatteras to the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

Ranging from 15 to 30 parallel miles off the east coast of Florida, a series of submarine pinnacles and ridges extends from Ft. Pierce to Cape Canaveral. Reaching as high as 65 feet above the sea floor, these features act as a foundation for a habitat made distinct by the unique ivory tree coral Oculina varicosa. A slow-growing, delicate and branchlike coral, ivory tree coral thickets often are associated with high biodiversity because they provide ideal spawning sites for numerous species, including economically important fish like several species of grouper (gag, scamp, snowy and warsaw), black sea bass, speckled hind and red snapper à prix réduit
