Two unidentified sea fans, yellow and orange, accompany this striking rose soft coral. It is attached to an
outcrop
on a near vertical wall at a depth of 75 feet. This wall is regularly swept by a strong current, and the soft coral
has
grown in such a fashion as to offer a maximum surface against the movement of the nutrient containing flow.
