Golden Spires

$169.00$5,295.00

A rarely seen Mega-Colony of Pillar Coral in the Cayman Islands, spanning over 50 feet across the shallow ocean bottom on one of the world’s most pristine coral reefs. The colonies form a series of spires thrusting upward from the ocean floor in clusters. Each spire is really thousands of coral polyps that extend their tentacles to form a golden carpet over the surface of the spires. Pillar Coral grows slowly, over decades and a colony this size could be hundreds of years old.
