Pseudopterogorgia fredericki [Pseudopterogorgia fredericki]
Description
This gorgonian can form striking colonies that stand out against rock or reef substrate. Divers often see it as a branching structure with fine textures, and when conditions are right, the polyps may appear more noticeable as they extend to capture food from the water.
