dc.descriptionSoft corals, which are members of the class Octocorallia, are major components of marine ecosystems, including coral reefs. They are known to contribute to reef complexity and serve as habitats for many organisms. They also have potential economic benefits, such as being sources of compounds that can be used for making medicine, and due to their beautiful colors and shapes, they also add to the aesthetic of many tourist diving sites around the world.en
