Coral Organisms

Coral reefs provide medical benefits for humans. Chemical compounds taken from corals are used in medicine for cancer, AIDS, pain, and other uses. Corals are also commonly used for bone grafting in humans.
Live coral is highly sought after for aquaria. Given the proper ecosystem, live coral makes a stunning addition to any salt water aquarium. Soft corals are easier to maintain in captivity than hard corals.
Isididae may be usable as living bone implants and in aquatic cultivation, because of their potential to mimic valuable biological properties.
