Kukenthal, 1905

Dendronephthya est un genre de coraux de la famille des Nephtheidae.

Description

Ces coraux sont mous, et suffisamment translucides pour laisser transparaître les spicules calcaires disséminés dans l'organisme. Ils sont généralement de couleur vive et présentent des ramifications. Ce genre compte plus de 250 espèces, souvent très difficiles à distinguer les unes des autres.

Les spicules calcaires de ce Dendronephthya roxasia sont bien visibles en transparence
