  4. Tubastraea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubastraea

    Tubastraea are considered one of the easier non photosynthetic corals to keep in captivity. Their polyps will take relatively large foods such as fish flakes and frozen mysis shrimp; feeding all the polyps once every other day is sufficient for survival, though faster growth is obtained if they are fed daily.

  5. Anthozoa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthozoa

    Coral reefs are some of the most biodiverse habitats on earth, supporting large numbers of species of corals, fish, molluscs, worms, arthropods, starfish, sea urchins, other invertebrates and algae. Because of the photosynthetic requirements of the corals, they are found in shallow waters, and many of these fringe land masses. [24]

  6. Dendronephthya - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendronephthya

    Dendronephthya is a genus of soft corals in the family Nephtheidae. [2] There are over 250 described species in this genus. They are sometimes kept in aquariums, but are notoriously difficult to keep, requiring a near constant supply of small foods such as phytoplankton.

  7. Alcyonacea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcyonacea

    Unlike stony corals, most soft corals thrive in nutrient-rich waters with less intense light. Almost all use symbiotic photosynthetic zooxanthella as a major energy source. However, most readily eat any free-floating food, such as zooplankton, out of the water column.

  8. Coral reef fish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_reef_fish

    There are two major regions of coral reef development recognized; the Indo-Pacific (which includes the Pacific and Indian Oceans as well as the Red Sea), and the tropical western Atlantic (also known as the "wider" or "greater" Caribbean). Each of these two regions contains its own unique coral reef fish fauna with no natural overlap in species.

  9. Scleractinia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scleractinia

    Scleractinia, also called stony corals or hard corals, are marine animals in the phylum Cnidaria that build themselves a hard skeleton. The individual animals are known as polyps and have a cylindrical body crowned by an oral disc in which a mouth is fringed with tentacles. Although some species are solitary, most are colonial.
