The Sea Whip is a type of soft coral found in warm, shallow waters, primarily in the Caribbean Sea and Western Atlantic Ocean. It belongs to the family Gorgoniidae and is characterized by its flexible, whip-like structure that can grow up to several feet long. Sea Whips are usually attached to the ocean floor and can sway with the currents, providing habitat for various marine organisms. These corals are composed of a protein called gorgonin, which gives them their unique texture and flexibility. Sea Whips come in various colors, including yellow, orange, and purple, and they play a vital role in the marine ecosystem by providing shelter and food for small fish and invertebrates.
