gorgoniacea
Gorgoniacea, also known as sea fans or sea whips, is an order of sessile colonial cnidarian found throughout the oceans of the world, especially in the tropics and subtropics. They are a part of the phylum Cnidaria, class Anthozoa, and are known for their hard, often tree-like structures which are composed primarily of a protein called gorgonin. The structures are created by a large number of polyps that are tiny, soft-bodied organisms related to sea anemones and jellyfish.
