pink sea fan


I want to share this amazing thing I found today. I think it is a pink sea fan Eunicella verrucosa, which is a soft coral. Reading what Natural England says about them makes me think maybe it is a sad thing that I found so many? I found this one and seven others on a beach off the Lizard, near the Manacles. Wishing I could dive and see them alive. Information about these beautiful creatures in Cornwall can also be found on the Cornwall Wildlife Trust's website Pink Sea Fan Project
