The deepwater zooanthid Corallizoanthus tsukaharai was named after Dr. Junzo Tsukahara , a long-time professor at Kagoshima University and mentor of Dr. J. D. Reimer, the noted specialist in crustose anemones.

Corallizoanthus tsukaharai was frequently observed on the surface of the coenenchyma of Paracorallium japonicum.
The reported size of 1.2cm refers to the largest polyp discovered on the crust.
Polyps of the species are polyps are mainly, but not always, uniform (solitary; not colonial).
Color: Collected specimens were bright yellow in color.
