Info

Asterospicularia laurae ist, wie ihre Schwesterart, Asterospicularia randalli, eine weniger bekannte Weichkoralle aus der Familie der Xenien.
Die Weichkoralle hat eine knubbelige, fleischige Struktur, ihre Tentakel können sich sehr starkt zusammenziehen.
Die notwendige Stabilität erhält die Koralle durch sternenförmige Kalknadeln im Gewebe.

Importe oder Haltungsberichte sind nicht bekannt.

Wie viele andere Weichkorallen können auch aus Asterospicularia laurae medizinisch wertvolle Extrakte gewonnen werden.
