Anthelia desjardiniana | M

Anthelia desjardiniana is a captivating soft coral species prized for its elegant, feathery polyps that create a natural, flowing effect in reef tanks. This medium-sized specimen thrives under moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow, making it suitable for a variety of marine aquarium setups.

When placing Anthelia desjardiniana in your aquarium, ensure it has adequate space from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions. Its polyps extend fully under stable water conditions, contributing to the tank’s biodiversity and aesthetic appeal.

Regular water quality maintenance and stable parameters are essential for optimal health. This coral benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods, although it primarily relies on photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae.

Ideal for intermediate hobbyists, Anthelia desjardiniana adds both movement and texture to soft coral collections, complementing Xenia and other Anthelia species.
