Description
Dead Brain Coral Fan is a flat decorative block that resembles the branching ridges of brain coral in a dead bleached color. The fan shape provides a distinct silhouette that works well for layering on walls and for adding low profile detail to reef and shipwreck scenes. Unlike its living counterpart the dead coral fan does not need water to stay in place so it can be mounted on dry surfaces as part of a museum style display or used in narrative builds to show the remains of a once thriving reef. The texture reads well at medium distances making it ideal for adding visual interest to aquariums and themed garden exhibits without overwhelming the overall color palette. Builders use dead coral fans for edging and for creating compact reef clusters where the flat shape fits into tight spaces and allows for repeated patterning. The fan is useful in both underwater and dry builds and offers flexibility for players who want coral style texture without the maintenance requirements of living coral. It pairs with other dead coral types and with natural blocks such as sand and gravel to build refined wreckage scenes and to add small scale fauna like seaweed replacements and rock outcrops. Overall the dead coral fan is a compact versatile decorative block that helps enrich ocean related builds with appropriate mood and detail.
