Carnation soft corals, or Dendronephthya, don't rely on symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) for nutrition. Instead, they feed by capturing plankton and nutrients directly from the water, thriving in nutrient-rich environments. Found predominantly in the Indo-Pacific, they attach to hard surfaces like rocks or dead corals in areas with strong water currents, which help them capture food efficiently​. These corals are renowned for their bright and varied colors, which range from pinks and reds to purples and oranges.
