Eunicella gracilis [Eunicella gracilis]
Description
Eunicella gracilis is a graceful gorgonian with relatively fine, elegant branches that form a delicate fan. Divers commonly encounter it on slopes and rocky walls, where it benefits from steady currents. Up close, the colony’s texture and branching pattern make it a favorite subject for underwater photography.
