Key Details
| SMID | SM662 |
| Catami | Branching 3D |
| Identification Features | Colonies short (typically <25 cm), stiff, flabellate, with dichotomous branching. Large, alternate polyps give it a slight zigzag appearance. Colour orange-red to red-brown. Previous reports of Nicella from Bermuda include Nicella gracilis Cairns, 2007, however, since the colonies of that species are typically white, it is unlikely to be the same as the one observed from the present survey. |
