A compact yet finely structured specimen of Stylophora pistillata (commonly referred to as Elkhorn Coral in the trade), sourced from the Solomon Islands. Weighing approximately 2.5 kg, this piece offers a more modest scale while retaining the distinctive branching elegance of the species.

This colony displays a well-defined, open branching pattern, with shorter, antler-like projections that radiate outward in a balanced and cohesive form. The branches are slightly more delicate than in larger specimens, giving the piece a lighter, more intricate character. Their gently tapering tips and subtle curvature create a natural rhythm throughout the structure, making it visually engaging from multiple angles.

The surface is evenly covered with fine corallites, producing a soft, granular texture that contrasts beautifully with the strength of the overall form. Its natural white coloration enhances the clarity of detail, allowing light to articulate the branching architecture and reveal the nuanced transitions between primary and secondary growth.

Well-preserved and structurally sound, this specimen represents a mature but more compact colony—ideal for display where refinement and proportion are preferred over scale.

This specimen is sold in full compliance with CITES regulations and is available within EU countries only, accompanied by all necessary documentation confirming legal provenance.

An elegant and versatile natural specimen, combining sculptural clarity with the quiet intricacy characteristic of this species.
