Scientific name: Coelogorgia
Coelogorgia is a genus of soft corals known for their delicate, branching structures and vibrant colors, often found in shades of yellow, orange, or red. These corals are part of the family Plexauridae and are popular among reef hobbyists for their ornamental value and moderate care requirements. They thrive in moderate to strong water flow and lighting conditions, which helps to keep their symbiotic algae, zooxanthellae, healthy. Coelogorgia species are also known for their ability to host a variety of marine life, providing shelter and habitat within their branches.
