Photo Mug : Red gorgonian
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Red gorgonian
Red gorgonian (Lophogorgia chilensis) in a giant kelp forest. A gorgonian is a colonial cnidarian related to corals. The feathery white bodies on the gorgonian are the feeding tentacles of the tiny polyps that make up the colony. The tentacles filter food particles from the water. Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) is a huge alga that forms forests in the clear temperate waters of the west coast of North America. It can reach 60 metres in height and grow at a rate of 30 centimetres each day. Photographed off California, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of a Red gorgonian (Lophogorgia chilensis) amidst a majestic giant kelp forest. As a colonial cnidarian closely related to corals, the Red gorgonian exhibits feathery white bodies that are actually the feeding tentacles of its tiny polyps, which form the colony. These delicate tentacles serve as efficient filters, extracting food particles from the surrounding water. The enchanting scene takes place in the crystal-clear temperate waters off California's coast in the United States. Here, Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera), an enormous alga known for forming extensive underwater forests, thrives. Reaching astonishing heights of up to 60 meters and growing at an impressive rate of 30 centimeters per day, this magnificent species dominates its marine habitat. Nature enthusiasts and biology aficionados will find themselves captivated by this mesmerizing snapshot captured by Science Photo Library. The image not only highlights the intricate details of these fascinating organisms but also showcases their vital role within their ecosystem. Immerse yourself in this underwater wonderland where marine life flourishes amidst swaying fronds of giant kelp and elegant red gorgonians sway with grace.
