Flabellum (Ulocyathus) kerguelensis [Flabellum (Ulocyathus) kerguelensis]
Description
This flabellum species is often seen as a small, fan-forming coral that clings to the seafloor like a miniature sea fan. Divers may notice its fine structure and the way it subtly changes appearance as polyps extend and retract. It’s a rewarding find for underwater photographers and anyone who enjoys spotting the quieter, more delicate reef inhabitants.
