Coral Shell Plate
The Coral Shell Plate is a common species of coral divided into three 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 range 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.
Data Bank Entry
This variant of coral has adapted to survive in close proximity to other corals, filtering nutrients from the water and sharing them via a spore-like substance which grows around the base.
Assessment: No practical applications discovered

Trivia
Despite all three of them having different characteristics and behavior, when scanned, they all have the same data bank entry.
Even though the data bank entry states they have no practical applications, the Coral Shell Plate variant can be harvested and is an ingredient for bleach.
