Sea fan (Isis hippuris)
Another specimen in Nemo's cases is "isis coral from the Molucca Islands" (20,000 Leagues p. 74). The genus Isis contains one species, Isis hippuris; along with many other coral species, its common name is the sea fan. A steroid isolated from the coral has recently appeared in the scientific literature as a possible treatment for cancer.
