Umimayanthus chanpuru is a zoantharian (family Hydrozoanthidae) found in tropical Indo-Pacific waters, growing epizoically on hydroid colonies with small polyps characteristic of this unusual cnidarian-on-cnidarian lifestyle. The species name 'chanpuru' refers to a traditional Okinawan stir-fry dish, reflecting its discovery in Okinawan waters. Its genome provides material for investigating host specificity, secondary metabolite production, and the molecular evolution of epizoic lifestyles in this phylogenetically distinctive zoantharian family.
