Common name: Corals

Anthozoa is a class of marine invertebrates that includes the well-known corals, anemones, sea fans, and sea pens. These organisms are characterized by their radial symmetry, a mouth surrounded by tentacles, and a complex life cycle that can include both a sessile polyp stage and a free-swimming larval stage. Many corals form symbiotic relationships with algae known as zooxanthellae, which provide them with energy through photosynthesis. Anthozoans are crucial for reef building and are highly valued in the reefkeeping hobby for their diverse colors and forms.
