Description

Dead Tube Coral Block is a full sized decorative block that reproduces the tubular reef texture of tube coral at block scale. The block is useful when builders need a consistent organic surface across a wide area such as floors walls and large sculptures. Its bleached aesthetic helps convey a sense of age and ruin in ocean themed builds and it works well with other dead coral types to create large scale wreckage and museum displays. Because it does not require water it can be placed on land and used for interior exhibits or outdoor memorials that show reclaimed ocean debris. Builders often use these blocks to create pale reef outcrops ruined pillars and textured monuments that read well from a distance while still offering close up detail. The block saves time compared to placing many small coral items because it covers more area while keeping the natural reef look. Combine it with sand gravel sea lanterns and dead coral fans to build convincing ocean graveyards and exhibit panels.
