Alcyonium is a genus of soft corals commonly known as Finger Leather Coral or Colt Coral. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their ease of care and peaceful nature. They exhibit a range of colors from pink to orange and have a distinctive, fleshy appearance with finger-like lobes.

They thrive in moderate lighting and water flow, and can tolerate a range of water conditions, making them suitable for beginner and intermediate hobbyists.
