Info
Very specíal thanks for the first photo of Eunicea tayrona to Prof. Dr. Charles G. Messing, Nova Southeastern University, USA.
Eunicea laciniata forms finger-shaped colonies of a few thick, long branches that grow in all directions from the base.
The branches make up > 50% of the colony height, have a diameter of 10 - 18 mm and bulbous tips.
Mucus: No mucus
Colour: Medium brown with dark polyps.
Habitat: Lighter terrace reefs and on hard bottoms.
Remarks:
The branches are the thickest in the genus. Grows mainly by asexual reproduction, often via fallen stolon-like branches.
