A third type of soft coral is the sea fan. Technically the fan coral is actually designated as ‘horny coral.’ It has polyps embedded in a soft layer of tissue that surrounds an internal, wood like stalk. This stalk contains gorgonin, a protein that resembles keratin, which is used by humans for fingernail growth. The fan coral has a thick, strong trunk and branches that become flexible as they reach outward. This allows the branches to wave gently in the waters. It also brings in the small organisms upon which the coral feeds. The sea fan ranges in color from brown, gold and orange to purple and brilliant red. An incredible effect is produced when the delicate looking polyps come out to feed and completely cover the branches with their graceful, featherlike tentacles.

Curiosamente, muchos de los nombres utilizados coloquialmente por submarinistas españoles responden a traducciones de las denominaciones inglesas y no a los nombres correctos en español. Esto ocurre especialmente con la flora y fauna tropical, que normalmente conocemos en viajes de buceo al extranjero, a menudo con centros de buceo angloparlantesy también porque las mejores guías de peces suelen estar en inglés o alemán.
Tu texto podría ser un ejemplo de esto - observo que dice manta rayas y no rayas manta, que sería lo común. ;O)
