Eunicellid Corals [Eunicellidae]

Eunicellid Corals
Description

Eunicellid corals are famous for their branching, tree-like shapes that can create mini-habitats for small reef creatures. Divers often notice their feathery texture and the way polyps can extend, adding a soft, colorful “bloom” to the reef.
