Scientific name: Junceella
Junceella is a genus of whip corals, a type of gorgonian in the family Ellisellidae. These corals are known for their long, slender, and flexible branches that resemble whips, hence the name. They are often brightly colored, ranging from red to yellow, and add a unique structure to the reef aquarium. Junceella species are filter feeders and require moderate water flow and lighting to thrive. They host a variety of small marine organisms, which can add to the biodiversity of an aquarium.
