Prickly Soft Coral

The Prickly Soft Coral, scientifically known as Dendronephthya spp., is a captivating addition to any marine aquarium. This unique species is renowned for its vibrant hues and intricate, tree-like structure, making it a visually stunning centerpiece in any aquatic setting. Dendronephthya spp. is a non-photosynthetic coral, meaning it does not rely on light for sustenance. Instead, it feeds on microscopic particles in the water, including plankton. This makes it a somewhat challenging species to care for, as it requires a steady supply of fine particulate food to thrive. For optimal care, we recommend Gamma Food, a high-quality, nutritionally balanced diet specifically designed for marine species. Gamma Food is rich in essential nutrients and vitamins, ensuring your Prickly Soft Coral receives the nourishment it needs to flourish.
