DescriptionThis fan is short and pale cream to orange in colour. It grows upright or in bushy masses, with irregular or frequent branches coming off the main basal stem. The branches are covered on all sides with many small bumps from which the polyps extend. It may grow up to 18 cm tall and have branches of 0.2 to 0.4 cm wide.[2] DistributionThis sea fan is found only around the southern African coast from Luderitz to Sodwana in 1–360 m of water. EcologyThis sea fan usually grows in areas sheltered from strong current. It is preyed upon by the whip fan nudibranch, which strongly resembles the feeding fan.[3] References1. ^http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=213056 accessed 26 July 2013 {{Commons Category|Eunicella papillosa}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q2337768}}2. ^Branch, G.M., Branch, M.L, Griffiths, C.L. and Beckley, L.E. 2010.
