Eunicella filifica [Eunicella filifica]
Description
Eunicella filifica is often recognized by its slender, filament-like branches and delicate, fingered polyps. Divers may encounter it on vertical rock faces, where the colony’s shape and texture are clearly visible as it gently sways. Because it relies on flowing water for feeding, it’s most noticeable in spots with steady current.
