Info

The soft coral Cladiella krempfi, whose complete distribution is certainly not yet fully illustrated, seems to be of less interest to aquarists, which may be due to its brown colouring.

However, the soft coral is highly interesting for human medicine, as the coral is used to produce anti-inflammatory substances, substances that have a positive effect on the human heart rate or can be used as fragrances.

Synonyms:
Alcyonium krempfi Hickson, 1919
Lobularia krempfi (Hickson, 1919)
Microspicularia krempfi (Hickson, 1919)
