It resides from depths of to , often at reef drop-offs. It looks like a plume of feathery appendages with radial symmetry. The branches of ''A. elisabethae'' are pinnate and distichous, and will orient themselves in the direction of the ocean current. It ranges in size from to . It is considered commercially important as it is harvested for analgesics and cosmetic creams. The compound that is believed to cause its beneficial effects is Pseudopterosin A, a diterpene glycoside, a selective analgesic. ''A. elisabethae'' is also used in fish tanks as a part of the commercial pet industry. The species has a Least Concern conservation status.
