Where Did Poseidon Live

I understand that all the gods hung out in Olympus, but I also have read that Poseidon / Neptune had a coral palace that he occupied when he wasn't up on the mountain.
Did this fortress / castle / seat of power have a name, in either the Roman or Greek traditions?

There's also a hymn to Poseidon wherein he is referred to as "Lord of Helicon," possibly because of the myth that Pegasus created the Hippocrene Spring there and Poseidon was associated with horses and with springs, but he had neither a mythical palace nor (as far as I know) an actual temple at Helicon.
