Meanings of sea fan in anglès

The volume of sediment in the deep- sea fan was determined from mapping on publicly available seismic-reflection data.

They retracted like sea fans when a diver brushes them below a coral sea.

The blue sky was overhead and the air of the sea fanned their cheeks.

There were desiccated sea fans under their spreading limbs, so old their colors had leached to transparency.

There were thunderstones, bloodstones, serpentines and agates; feather stars, sea fans, sea lilies and corals; scorpions, scarabs and iridescent beetles.

In the zoophyte branch, class Alcyonaria, one finds the order Gorgonaria, which contains three groups: sea fans, isidian polyps, and coral polyps.

Sea fans and plumes, with thinner branches and smaller polyps, favor higher metabolic rates, compared to sea rods with thicker branches and larger polyps.
