''Eunicella cavolini'', commonly known as the yellow gorgonian or yellow sea whip, is a species of colonial soft coral in the Gorgoniidae family. It is native to parts of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and most of the Mediterranean Sea, where it is a common species. ==Description== ''Eunicella cavolini'' is a much-branched soft coral growing to a height of about . It is fan-shaped with the irregular, cylindrical branches largely growing in a single plane. The stem has an enlarged base fixed to the substrate and the branches are smooth, short and about thick. The coenenchyme (the thin fleshy covering of the stiff skeleton) is yellowish-orange. The polyps are white to yellow, about long and arranged in four rows.〔 ''Eunicella cavolini'' can be confused with the warty gorgonian (''Eunicella verrucosa''), but that sea fan has rougher branches, or with ''Leptogorgia sarmentosa'', but that species has straighter, more slender branches with smaller polyps.〔
