Reproduction of a large Oceanic Lagoon Branch Coral. Corals are actually animals belonging to the Cnidaria phylum. They typically live in colonies of individuals called "polyps," which are "superorganisms." Each polyp secretes its own exoskeleton, which can be hard or soft depending on the species. Our collection of corals, made from synthetic material, is handcrafted with artisanal precision, perfectly replicating the texture of these living specimens, most of which are now protected.
