Genus
Common name: Stick Polyps
Scientific name: Acrozoanthus
Acrozoanthus is a genus of colonial anemones that resemble soft corals. They are known for their elongated polyps which can give the appearance of a 'stick'. These anemones are often found attached to a substrate, such as a dead coral branch. They are not as demanding as some other coral species, making them suitable for intermediate aquarists. Acrozoanthus can add movement and a unique aesthetic to a reef tank, but they require moderate lighting and water flow to thrive.
