Anthelia is a genus of soft corals known for their pulsing or waving polyps, which resemble a hand gesture. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their ease of care and ability to adapt to various lighting conditions. They are often found in shades of pink, gray, or green and can add dynamic movement to a reef tank. Anthelia species are known to be hardy and can grow quickly, making them suitable for beginners. They do best in moderate flow and lighting, and they can reproduce by budding, making propagation relatively straightforward for hobbyists.
