Info

Anthelia is a genus of soft corals from the Xeniidae family.

Anthelia rosea is largely unexplored, the first description “Philippine Alcyonaria. The families Cornulariidae and Xeniida” from 1933 is unfortunately not accessible.
We are therefore only able to provide an incomplete description of the species
