General info about Lace Coral

Lace corals grow to an ornate tree-like structure, with all the flattened, blunt-ended branches. They can be found in several colors, including violet, red, pink, orange, and yellow, and can grow up to 10 inches tall. Unlike most corals whose external tissue is colored, lace corals' colors can be found even in their skeletal structure after they die.
