Clavularia sp. N. Sulawesi

Clavularia sp. Red Sea.
Genus Clavularia (et al. Clavulariids): Individual polyps are encased in calyces (sing., calyx) of half to two inches in length. Tentacle enclosed by feathery pinnules, often side-branched. Occur in pinks, blues, white to cream, brown to yellow colors, at times with contrasting centers. Unlike pulsing soft corals (Family Xeniidae), Clavulariids can withdraw their tentacles completely.
