Alcyonium maristenebrosi [Alcyonium maristenebrosi]

Description

This species typically appears as a branching or encrusting soft coral that forms textured mats or clumps on the seafloor. Underwater, it often looks like a soft, fleshy landscape—moving slowly with currents. Divers may notice small variations in color and surface texture depending on light and water flow.
