Anthelia edmondsoni forms small tan to brown polyps in dense clusters with feathery tentacles. Colonies branch frequently and create bushy, delicate branching structures with a somewhat fuzzy appearance due to the extended tentacle crowns.

- Care Requirements
- • Moderate lighting (PAR 150–250 µmol) • Moderate to strong water flow for polyp extension • Supplement with occasional target feeding (zooplankton, rotifers) • Stable temperature 24–26°C, salinity 1.023–1.025 • Thrives in mid-reef zones with space to expand
- Additional Notes
- Similar to Xenia but with a more uniform waving motion. It creates a soft field of movement that looks great when isolated from your main rockwork. Low to moderate light, moderate flow, and almost any nutrient level. It grows fast and spreads across rockwork quickly. Containment is the key to keeping it. It can be manually peeled from rocks, but scraps can regrow. Best kept on an island or in a place where its expansion does not matter.
