Common name: Dendrophylliidae

Dendrophylliidae is a family of stony corals that are unique because they do not require sunlight to thrive, unlike many other corals. Members of this family, such as the popular Sun Coral (Tubastraea) and Cup Coral (Turbinaria), are non-photosynthetic and rely on feeding on plankton and nutrients in the water. They are often found in deeper or shaded marine environments. These corals are appreciated for their vivid colors and distinct polyp structures, making them attractive additions to reef aquariums. However, they require dedicated feeding regimes and stable water conditions to flourish in captivity.
