Bamboo coral, family Isididae, is a family of mostly deep-sea coral of the phylum Cnidaria.[1][2] It is a commonly recognized inhabitant of the deep sea, due to the clearly articulated skeletons of the species.[3] Deep water coral species such as this are especially affected by the practice of bottom trawling. These organisms may be an important environmental indicator in the study of long term climate change, as some specimens of bamboo coral have been discovered that are 4,000 years old.[4]
