Acanella is a genus of deep sea bamboo coral of the family Keratoisididae.^[1] Acanella are mainly studied and found in Hawaii, they are able to survive in high-flow sites and are preyed upon by nudibranch mollusks. It has a high fecundity and small size that allows high dispersal and recruitment; however, it has been classified as a vulnerable marine organism due to its vulnerability to bottom fishing gear.^[2]^[3]^[4]
