Precious coral or Red coral, is the common name given to a genus of marine corals, Corallium.

The distinguishing characteristic of precious corals is their durable and intensely colored red or pink-orange skeleton, which is used for making jewelry.

This is the Corallium rubrum species they grow on rocky seabottom with low sedimentation, typically in dark environments—either in the depths or in dark caverns or crevices.
