Steroids from the Soft Coral Sinularia crassa [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2012 One new sterol, crassarosterol A (1), and four new steroidal glycosides, crassarosterosides A–D (2–5) were isolated from the Formosan soft coral Sinularia crassa. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined using the Mosher’s method.

Benefit of pulsation in soft corals [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013 Soft corals of the family Xeniidae exhibit a unique, rhythmic pulsation of their tentacles ( Movie S1 ), first noted by Lamarck nearly 200 y ago. However, the adaptive benefit of this perpetual, energetically costly motion is poorly understood.

Effects of polypropylene nanofibers on soft corals
Chemosphere, 2023 Current information regarding the effects of both micro- and nano-plastic debris on coral reefs is limited; especially the toxicity onto corals from nano-plastics originating from secondary sources such as fibers from synthetic fabrics. Within this study, we exposed the alcyonacean coral Pinnigorgia flava to different concentrations of polypropylene ...
