Genus
Common name: Tree Coral
Scientific name: Studeriotes
Studeriotes is a genus of soft corals known for their tree-like appearance, often referred to as Tree Coral or Carnation Coral. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their unique structure and movement. They are non-photosynthetic and require regular feeding with planktonic foods. Their care is considered advanced due to their specific feeding and water flow requirements. They can add a dynamic element to a reef tank, swaying with the currents and providing a habitat for small marine creatures.
