         rubrum found chiefly in the mediterranean. the fan
         corals, plume corals, and sea feathers are species
         of gorgoniacea, in which the axis is horny.

coral
   heb. ramoth, meaning "heights;" i.e., "high-priced" or valuable
   things, or, as some suppose, "that which grows high," like a
   tree job 28:18; ezek. 27:16, according to the rabbins, red
   coral, which was in use for ornaments.
   
     the coral is a cretaceous marine product, the deposit by
   minute polypous animals of calcareous matter in cells in which
   the animal lives. it is of numberless shapes as it grows, but
   usually is branched like a tree. great coral reefs and coral
   islands abound in the red sea, whence probably the hebrews
   derived their knowledge of it. it is found of different colours,
   white, black, and red. the red, being esteemed the most
   precious, was used, as noticed above, for ornamental purposes.
