''Leptopsammia pruvoti'', the sunset cup coral, is a solitary stony coral in the family Dendrophylliidae. It is an azooxanthellate species, meaning its tissues do not contain the symbiotic unicellular algae (zooanthellae) of the genus ''Symbiodinium'', as do most corals.〔 It is native to the Mediterranean Sea. The species was described by Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers in 1897 and named to honor the French marine biologist Georges Pruvot. ==Description==
''Leptopsammia pruvoti'' is a solitary stony coral and superficially resembles a sea anemone. The polyp sits in a calcareous cup , wider at the base than the top, which varies in shape from cylindrical and short to conical and long. It grows to a height of about and a diameter of . The polyp is yellow or orange with about ninety-six long, translucent yellow tentacles. It can retract back into the skeletal cup, so that the tentacles become barely visible. This species can be confused with another yellow or orange cup coral, ''Balanophyllia regia'', but that species never grows so large and has fewer tentacles.
