Eunicella filiformis [Eunicella filiformis]
Description
Divers often spot this fan-shaped gorgonian as delicate, finger-like branches that rise from the seabed. In clear water, the colony can look airy and lacy, swaying gently with the current. Depending on light and location, it may appear pale to warm-toned, making it stand out against darker rock.
