Eunicella pendula [Eunicella pendula]
Description
Eunicella pendula is a classic sight on rocky slopes, with colonies that hang and sway like underwater streamers. Its feathery branches and closely spaced polyps give it a soft, living look even at a distance. Divers commonly notice it in areas with steady current, where it can feed efficiently and attract curious small marine life.
