Red Sea Fan (7”-10”) organ commonly known as lettuce coralThe Red Sea Fan comes from the deep parts of the reefs of the Indian Ocean and has a classic sea fan appearance. It is red in color and the thin branches are woven creating a mesh like appearance. The branches have many very small white polyps that are usually only seen at night when the lights of the aquarium are off. The base of this gorgonian is brown in color, and is usually attached to a small piece of rock.
