Eunicella tricoronata [Eunicella tricoronata]
Description
This species is known for its elegant branching structure, often with tips that look slightly “crowned” compared to other Eunicella corals. Divers may notice the polyps as tiny, pale points along the branches, especially when the coral is actively feeding. In gentle currents, the colony’s fine details become striking, turning a simple rock face into a miniature habitat.
