Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of increasing growth of coral by growing the coral on a bioceramic hydroxyapatite material. An increased growth rate in the coral species is observed with respect to perimeter, surface area and volume as compared with the growth rate on a control material. In some embodiments, the bioceramic hydroxyapatite material contains a carbonatable calcium component with a Ca/P ratio greater than about 1.67.
