Description

Brain Coral Block is the full cube version of living brain coral. It carries the same bright color and textured pattern but in a blockier shape that works well for building large reef walls floors and sculptures. Because it is a living coral block it needs to remain in water to keep its vivid color. When taken out of water it will slowly turn into a dead coral block which loses the lively appearance. Builders use Brain Coral Block to make large colorful features in underwater builds and to add bright accents to aquatic themed structures. The block is decorative and not suited for heavy structural roles but it is perfect for adding natural color to marine creations.
