Overview
The Sea Crown is one of the rarest types of harvestable flora in Subnautica, with only a small number in existence. Overall, it is the third rarest type of flora in Subnautica, behind the Giant Cove Tree and Fern Palm. It is found exclusively in the Bulb Zone, the Dunes Sinkhole, the entrance to the Jellyshroom caves, in the Sea Emperor Leviathan's Aquarium, and certain Grassy Plateaus Caves. One of these plants can be found in the general vicinity of Lifepod 12 (past the lava pit).
By cutting the plant with a knife, the player can harvest Sea Crown Seeds. Sea Crowns have 50 HP, and can therefore be slashed 3 times. The first two slashes will give 1 seed each, the third and final slash, destroying the Sea Crown, will yield 3 seeds, for a total of 5 seeds per Sea Crown.
The seeds can then be planted in an Exterior Growbed or an Alien Containment: it takes 700 seconds (11:40 minutes) for a fully mature Sea Crown to grow from a seed.

Data Bank Entry
This plant consists primarily of a large bladder-like sack containing a huge variety of bacterial species, which may enable it to break down complex compounds it draws from the root system. Shares large sections of genetic code with the membrain tree. Environment scans indicate this plant is rare to the point of extinction.

Trivia
- The Sea Crown resembles a Portuguese man o' war, which is itself a composite lifeform.
- Initially, only two Sea Crowns existed, located in the Bulb Zone. However, the population is much larger now and is spread across many more biomes.
