| Aspect: | Colonies tend to grow along in single stems (unlike other Sea Plumes that grow into more bushy formations). Both stem and branches are also more rigid in appearance and do not droop. |
| Population: | Common. |
| Notable feature: | Pink or pale violet/mauve. Bipinnate means that branches grow from the same point on the stem. They also grow in a single plane. |
| Environment: | Rocky/sandy bottom, typically at depths of 5 to 20 metres. |
| Behaviour: | Whenever exposed, the small polyps immediately retract if touched. |
