Zoantharians belong to the order Zoantharia and are known for their symbiotic relationships and resemblance to soft corals. Polyps have a tubular body with a crown of tentacles surrounding the mouth. The tentacles are often short and arranged in a radial pattern which capture plankton and organic particles from the water using its tentacles.
