Ctenocella Pectinata, a captivating marine treasure native to the Indian Ocean specifically found off the shores of Broome, Northwestern Australia, exhibits an enchanting resemblance to the graceful lyre, a musical instrument. As a natural gorgonian organism, its mesmerizing form embodies the elegance of this ancient instrument.

Gorgonians, akin to corals, are fascinating creatures that thrive as sessile colonial polyps, intricately woven into a tree-like configuration. Their architectural masterpiece, a resilient yet pliable skeleton known as gorgonin, defies conventional growth patterns as it extends perpendicular to the prevailing currents. This unique orientation enables Ctenocella Pectinata to maximize its interaction with water flow, effortlessly filtering and harnessing vital nutrients without the need for sunlight-induced development. 

A stunning medium-sized marine life glass dome featuring a meticulously curated selection of ocean treasures. At the heart of the piece is a Seriatopora hystrix coral from the Solomon Islands, surrounded by a fascinating array of seashells and marine specimens: an Argonauta hians (paper nautilus), Mitra mitra (bishop’s miter), Pecten pallium (scallop), Terebra dimidiata (auger shell), 2 Nerita textilis, and 2 Clanculus puniceus from the Philippines, as well as a Tachiacteria mirabilis, the remarkable Japanese wonder shell, from Japan.

Giant Barrel Sponge (Xestospongia testudinaria) is a giant species of sponge found in the Indo-Pacific coral reefs. It commonly occurs at depths ranging from over 10 meters to 120 meters and can grow up to a diameter of 1.8 meters. The sponge typically exhibits a brownish-red to brownish-gray coloration, with a hard or stony texture. Due to its impressive size and estimated lifespan of hundreds to possibly thousands of years, the giant barrel sponge has earned the nickname "redwood of the reef." It displays a variable form, often appearing as a large, firm, barrel-shaped structure with a cone-shaped cavity at the top called the osculum. These sponges make beautiful decorative pieces. The specimen in question originates from Luzon, Philippines.

Syrinx aruanius - Australian Trumpet shell in a dark brass base.

It's a species of extremely large sea snail measuring up to 91 cm long and weighing up to 18 kg. Shells over 50 cm are now impossible to obtain, specially in good condition. It is a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinellidae, and is the only species in the genus Syrinx.

This species is known for its striking polymorphism, commonly displaying colors such as pure, dark, or light blue, though variations in aqua, purple, or orange can also be found throughout the ocean. These sea stars can grow up to 30 cm (11.8 in) in diameter, with rounded tips at the end of each arm. Some individuals may feature lighter or darker spots along their arms. Typically firm in texture, Linckia stars have the slightly tubular, elongated arms common to other members of the Ophidiasteridae family, and usually possess short, yellowish tube feet. They inhabit coral reefs and seagrass beds, where they are relatively common, although found in sparse density across their range. Linckia stars live subtidally or sometimes intertidally on sandy or hard substrates and move at a mean rate of 8.1 cm/min. This giant specimen, mounted on a black lacquered wood base, originates from the Philippines.

Gorgonacea sp. - Red Gorgonian, from Madagascar.

These gorgonians live between 20 and 100 meters deep in vertical walls, caught by divers and prepared in order to maintain their natural color. Like corals, gorgonians are animals living in sessile colonial polyps organized in a tree shape. Its structure is a skeleton both soft and hard, called gorgonine and they do not grow in the direction of the sun but perpendicular to the current in order to filter a maximum of waterflow. Displayed in a black lacquered wood stand, turned into a unique decor item.
