Anthelia glauca

Anthelia glauca, commonly known as Waving Hand Coral, is a soft coral prized for its feathery polyps and constant, rhythmic movement. Colonies grow as an encrusting mat from which long, delicate polyps extend and wave in the current, creating a dynamic and natural appearance. Colors typically range from cream and tan to pale brown, silver, and light green. Its hardiness and captivating motion make it a popular addition to reef aquariums.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Moderate to high
• Flow: Moderate to strong
• Placement: Rockwork with room to spread; can grow rapidly under favorable conditions
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional phytoplankton or fine particulate coral foods
