Gorgonia flabellum
''Gorgonia flabellum'', also known as the Venus fan, Venus sea fan, common sea fan, West Indian sea fan and purple gorgonian seafan, is a species of sea fan, a sessile colonial soft coral.
== Description ==
The Venus sea fan is a delicate-looking colonial soft coral in the form of a fan composed of a lattice of branches in a single plane. The coral grows from a small base, forming several main branches with side branches and a network of small branchlets. The Venus sea fan is similar in appearance to ''Gorgonia ventalina'' but has a slightly more untidy shape and short, stubby side growths coming out of the main plane.〔 In ''G. flabellum'' the branches are flattened at right angles to the plane of the fan, while in ''G. ventalina'' the branches are either round or flattened parallel to the plane of the fan. The wide-mesh sea fan (''Gorgonia mariae'') is also similar in appearance but at only 30 cm is smaller and many of the branchlets do not interconnect. The Venus sea fan is white, yellowish or pale lavender. The fan is often found oriented perpendicular to the incoming waves and can grow to a height of .〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Gorgonia flabellum'' (Linnaeus 1758) )〕
