Bubblegum Coral. Species Overview. Living at depths of 200-1300 m (650-4200 ft), this sea fan can grow to a height of 6 meters (20 feet). Paragorgia arborea is a cold-water branching gorgonian fan. The common name for this soft coral, bubblegum coral, comes from the bundles of polyps at the end of the branches that resemble a wad of bubble gum.
Different species of coral grow at different rates depending on water temperature, salinity, turbulence, and the availability of food. The massive corals are the slowest growing species, adding between 5 and 25 millimeters (0.2â1 inch) per year to their length.Branching and staghorn corals can grow much faster, adding as much as 20 centimeters (8 inches) to their branches each year. Coral reefs grow best in warm water (70â85Â° F or 21â29Â° C).Corals prefer clear and shallow water, where lots of sunlight filters through to their symbiotic algae. It is possible to find corals at depths of up to 300 feet (91 meters), but reef-building corals grow poorly below 60â90 feet (18â27 meters).ranching and staghorn corals can grow much faster, adding as much as 20 centimeters (8 inches) to their branches each year.
