The complete mitochondrial genome of soft coral, Eleutherobia rubra (Brundin, 1896) (Cnidaria; Anthozoa; Malacalcyonacea; Alcyoniidae).

The mitogenome of a soft coral, Eleutherobia rubra (Brundin, 1896), was completely sequenced for the first time. The total mitogenome length of E. rubra is 18,724 bp with 14 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, one transfer RNA gene (tRNA-Met), and one non-coding region (NCR). The gene order is also consistent with other Alcyoniidae species. The base composition is 30.1% A, 16.7% C, 19.5% G, and 33.7% T, with a G-C content of 36.2%. This is the first record of the complete mitogenome sequence of the genus Eleutherobia.
