Dendronephthya hemprichi is a common soft coral found from Red Sea to Western Pacific.In may 2023 on the Mediterranean coast of Israel exactly on the coasts of the city of Sdot Yam many specimens were filmed, subsequently it was also photographed in Lebanon In Byblos.It is usually pink or orange with transparent trunk and it grows up to 70 cm.

[4] As a broadcasting species, in terms of sexual reproductive ability, it participates in mass spawning events in which the coral releases its gametes (eggs or sperm) into the water where they fertilize.

[4] In addition to its sexual reproductive capabilities, this species of Dendronephthya is also able to reproduce asexually through the process of clonal propagation.

[5] This method of reproduction facilitates rapid aggregation of biomass to allow D. hemprichi to dominate a zooxanthellate environment despite being an azooxanthellate organism.

[8] The coral reefs of Eilat host a large number of divers, ranging from scientists to novices seeking a thrill.

Diving pressure and the behavior of industries disrupt the local habitat through man made disturbances.

[10] Some of these disruptions include coral breakages and damages, in large due to contact of swimming fins with the reef.

Therefore, by living on the bottom surface of horizontal substrata, D. hemprichi is able to avoid algal growth and sedimentation as well.

[10] The identification of optimal niches for D. hemprichi allows for future transplantation of coral to artificial reefs in order to remedy human impact.
