Hydrozoanthus tunicans is a zoantharian (family Hydrozoanthidae) that grows on hydroid colonies and possibly tunicates in tropical marine environments, with polyps characterized by the typical two-cycle tentacle arrangement of zoantharians and possible incorporation of foreign material into the coenenchyme. Hydrozoanthidae represents a specialized lineage within Zoantharia with a unique ecological niche among cnidarian epizoics, and its genome provides material for investigating host choice, secondary metabolite production, and molecular evolution.
