it's certainly not a plant, despite looking like a fern. It looks like a SEAPEN, which is an echinoderm related to the , but i'm not sure. what is the seabed? where was it taken?

Looks like a type of hydroid. Perhaps Sertularella speciosa? Having lightly brushed my had against various types of hydroids while taking macro pictures, I tend to be very aware of them. They can create a rather interesting burning sensation if touched with bare skin.
I think that's it! Definately a Branching hydroid, (hydrozonan) of some sort.
I've had encounters with them myself, much like a fire coral "sting", not a lot of fun.
Since hurricane Wilma, they seem to be more prevalant on the reefs, along with much more small black coral branches...another critter you don't want to rub up against while shooting macro!
