A soft spongy anthozoan colony with elongated white polyps, excellent for feeding experiments. Polyps are vividly luminescent when handled in the dark. Waves of luminescense move concentrically over the colony. Renilla anchors itself into substratum with short peduncle, and makes distinct trails in the mud. Colony may inflate itself with water. Size: 4-6 cm.
