sea fan awaiting identification* updated Oct 08 Where seen? This beautiful sea fan that resembles the silhouette of a large spreading tree is sometimes seen on Beting Bronok and Tuas. On coral rubble. Features: 10-15cm tall. A thick sturdy 'trunk' at the base, that branches into increasingly finer stems, resulting in an elegant tree-like shape along one plane. There are swollen nodes at the points where the stems branch. Colours seen include red, pink or white. Polyps were not observed. |
