What is a Bubble Coral Fan?

A Bubble Coral Fan is a vibrant purple, branching coral variant in Minecraft that generates naturally in warm ocean biomes. It is part of the coral family and adds a dynamic, natural touch to underwater builds. When placed outside of water, it dries out and becomes a Dead Bubble Coral Fan, losing its bright color.
