Description
This species is found in the Atlantic Ocean, specifically in the waters of Brazil. It's known for its delicate, bush-like structure and pale coloration, typically white to light pink. The Brazilian Soft Coral is often found in deeper waters, commonly attached to rocks and other hard surfaces. This species is not as well-studied as others in its genus, but like most soft corals, it's presumed to be a filter feeder.
