Eunicella granulata [Eunicella granulata]
Description
Divers may notice Eunicella granulata for its more textured look, with a slightly bumpy or granular feel compared to smoother gorgonians. It often grows on rocky bottoms and can form compact, branching colonies that sway with the water movement. Small marine life frequently uses the branches as shelter, adding extra detail to what you see on the dive.
