Gorgonian sea fans, like other corals, do not have a traditional cell wall as found in plants. Instead, they are composed of a soft tissue structure supported by a skeleton made of a protein called gorgonin and, in some species, calcium carbonate. The soft tissues of gorgonians contain cells that perform various functions, but they lack the rigid cell walls characteristic of plant cells.
