Eunicella crinita [Eunicella crinita]
Description
This species is known for its elegant, feathery branching that can look like a small underwater plume. Divers may see it in clusters on rocky seabeds, where it forms a soft, waving silhouette in the current. Its fine, hair-like polyps give the colony a distinctive, almost fringed appearance.
