Not a commonly found coral in the wild, yet one that is easily harvested since it occurs in shallow to medium water depths with somewhat turbid conditions having moderate water movement and where it is found firmly 'rooted' in soft sand and rubble bottom areas. This non-photosynthetic soft coral tends to expand upwards during daylight hours to feed on drifting plankton, and withdraws into its base during nighttime hours. Generally, brown or gray colored branches on a white column, with a very pale brown/near white colored base.
