Flabellum (Flabellum) magnificum [Flabellum (Flabellum) magnificum]
Description
This species can look like a small, elegant fan anchored to rocky or sandy bottoms. Underwater, divers may notice a more pronounced, showy shape compared with some other flabellums, creating a striking silhouette against the substrate. With patience, you may see the polyps extend and retract as they capture plankton drifting past.
