Description

The Chilli Coral, known scientifically as Nephthyigorgia sp., is a unique and captivating coral species. It is named for its distinctive bright red coloration, reminiscent of a chili pepper. This coral is non-photosynthetic, meaning it does not rely on light for energy, but instead captures plankton and other small particles from the water column. It is typically found in shaded or dimly lit areas of the reef, often under overhangs or in caves. The Chilli Coral has a tree-like structure with polyps that extend to capture food, and it can add a striking visual element to any reef aquarium.
