Renilla muelleri [Renilla muelleri]
Description
Renilla muelleri typically grows as a colonial soft coral with a flattened, spreading form that can look like a miniature sea fan. Divers may see its polyps arranged across the surface, creating a fine, detailed texture. With gentle water movement, the colony can subtly flex, making it feel more dynamic than it first appears.
