Eunicella albicans [Eunicella albicans]
Description
Eunicella albicans often appears as pale, branching sea fan-like soft coral, with many fine projections that resemble delicate fingers. Divers commonly find it on rocky walls and overhangs, where it can stand out as a light-colored, lacey structure. When you hover nearby, the polyps’ fine texture and subtle sway make it a favorite for close-up viewing.
