  • Fish swim through and around a colony of Fiordland Black Coral (Antipathella fiordensis) in Milford Sound on the South Island of New Zealand. Of the black corals, Fiordland Black Coral is unusual because it's found in the shallowest waters. Most black corals are deep sea species, but Fiordland Black Coral is found at depths of just 10 to 50 meters (32 to 164 feet). Black coral actually appears white when its alive, and unlike other corals does not need warm, shallow water. Milford Sound is host to 7 million coral colonies, which have been developing for 200 million years. The Fiordland Black Coral is visible without diving to visitors of the Marine Discovery Centre in Milford Sound, which extends 10 meters under water.
