Acanella is a genus of deep sea bamboo coral of the family Isididae.[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] It contains the following species:
- Acanella africana Kükenthal, 1915
- Acanella arbuscula (Johnson, 1862)
- Acanella aurelia Saucier & France, 2017
- Acanella chiliensis Wright & Studer, 1889
- Acanella dispar Bayer, 1990
- Acanella furcata Thomson, 1929
- Acanella gregori (Gray, 1870)
- Acanella microspiculata Aurivillius, 1931
- Acanella rigida Wright & Studer, 1889
- Acanella robusta Thomson & Henderson, 1906
- Acanella scarletae Saucier & France, 2017
- Acanella verticillata Kükenthal, 1915
- Acanella weberi Nutting, 1910
