In terms of its physical characteristics, white coral can be branched, bushy, or encrusting in form, with a porous structure made up of calcium carbonate. The surface may have a rough or smooth texture, depending on the species.

• • Coloration: White coral appears light or white due to the loss of symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae), often from environmental stressors like elevated sea temperatures and pollution.
  • Structure: Composed of calcium carbonate, white coral can take various forms, including branching, bushy, or encrusting, with a porous texture that differs among species.
  • Habitat: Typically found in shallow, warm marine waters, these corals are integral to the health of coral reef ecosystems.
  • Ecological Role: They provide critical habitat and shelter for a wide range of marine life, contributing to biodiversity and supporting complex food webs.
  • Sustainable Practices: Promoting awareness and sustainable practices is essential to protect these fragile ecosystems and ensure their survival for future generations.
