Common name: Walking Dendro Coral

Heteropsammia is a genus of small, solitary, free-living stony corals commonly known as Walking Dendro Coral. These corals are unique due to their symbiotic relationship with a burrowing sipunculid worm, which helps them move across the substrate, earning them the nickname 'Hitchhiker Coral'. They are popular in reef aquariums for their intriguing behavior and the added challenge they present to hobbyists. Heteropsammia corals prefer low to moderate lighting and flow, and they feed on small particulate foods.
