Common name: Whip Coral
Scientific name: Acanthogorgiidae
Acanthogorgiidae, commonly known as whip corals or wire corals, are a family of gorgonian octocorals. They are characterized by their long, thin, and often whip-like appearance. These corals are found in a variety of colors and can add both height and a unique aesthetic to a reef aquarium. They host a range of small invertebrates, providing a biodiverse habitat. Hobbyists should provide moderate to strong water flow and low to moderate lighting to mimic their natural deep-water environments.
