The Carnation Coral Dendronephthya sp. is one of the most exotic looking soft corals of the tropical reefs. It also occurs in more colors and color combinations than just about all other soft coral found in the aquarium reef industry. The colors are crazy bright reds, purples, pinks, greens, whites oranges and yellows and mixes of these as well. The stalks can also have combinations of colors, and to top it off, this beauty has also been known to change colors. Some common names these corals are collectively known for are Carnation Coral, Carnation Tree Coral, Colored Cauliflower Coral, Tree Coral, Ledge Coral, and the most brilliant red and/or pink specimen will be called Strawberry coral.
The Dendronephthya genus is the easiest to identify in the Nephtheidae family due to their bright colors, but it has some other characteristics as well. It can be arboreal or grow in a fascicular fashion of bundles or clumps. Upright stalks have branches with bushy groupings of polyps at the ends and is an aposynbiotic Neptheid; ie. night feeding, filter feeder, and non-photosynthetic.
