Eunicella filum [Eunicella filum]
Description
Eunicella filum forms slender, branching fans that can look almost threadlike up close. Underwater, it typically grows on rocky substrates where currents bring food, and you may see tiny organisms living among the branches. Divers often notice how the colony’s fine structure creates a soft, textured silhouette.
