The Ricordea Mushroom Coral (aka Mushroom Anemone), is often called a False Coral as it has no remnants of a hard calcium skeleton as other true soft corals do.
They belong to the order Corallimoprharians, which contain a further 45 other mushroom species within 11 genera.
Unlike other corals, Corallimoprharians are able to move and relocate themselves in response to changing environmental conditions.
