Category:Coral (Soft Corals)

Mose soft corals are members of the order Alcyonacea. These corals can grow to over 2 feet across in the wild, and are found in a variety of colors. Soft corals are found mainly in tropical waters around the world in varying environments ranging from coral reefs to inter-coastal channels at depths up to 150 feet.

Polyp Corals are found in two orders: Stolonifera, which includes star polyps, and Zoanthidae, which includes colonial anemones commonly referred to as sea mats and button polyps. Members of both orders are often referred to as "zoanthids," and most are colonial corals, living in groups. Most of them are extremely hardy, making them ideal candidates for the beginner reef aquarist.
