Can't Find Table Coral in Subnautica

Table Coral is the early Computer Chip bottleneck. It grows attached to walls, and the sample must be cut off rather than picked up by hand.

LAST CHECK

ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE

Look for the disk-shaped Table Coral attached to walls in the Safe Shallows, then cut it with the Survival Knife to receive a Table Coral Sample for the Computer Chip.

The Safe Shallows is the most practical first route. The official Wiki also lists Grassy Plateaus, Kelp Forest, Mushroom Forest, and other later biomes.

COMMON REASONS YOU ARE STUCK

  • Searching the seafloor for a loose sample
  • Trying to pick the coral up by hand
  • Confusing Table Coral with Coral Tube
  • Cutting the wrong decorative coral
