Genus Dendronephthya Kukenthal 1905: Strawberry Corals. Greatly bunched, bushy colonies. Common in many areas of the tropical Indo-Pacific. Lack zooxanthellae, dependent of nano-plankton and dissolved organics for food. Some grow exposed, many others in caves, sheltered settings, mostly "upside down". Some 250 species are said to exist... not able to be discerned in the field... must be microscopically examined. Fiji
