The Coral Shell Plate is a common species of coral. It is divided into 3 types: Coral, Slanted and Veined.

Using the Survival Knife, Coral Tube Samples can be harvested from all three variants.

Appearance[]

The Coral Shell Plates have a faint olive color and a crescent-like shape, similar to those found attached to Giant Coral Tubes.

The Slanted Shell Plate is a group of slanted plate corals arranged close to each other, with a variety of sizes. It is mainly dark green in color, with the bottom part having a wide arrange of colors.

Veined Shell Plates are oval shaped corals, which have bioluminescent yellowish and brown branching patterns on their surface. They have a slightly rough surface with some pits between the branches.
