[00:23:04] Yes. Associates. Don't appear to be leaving the coral following this disturbance. [00:23:35] YES, great to get this plexaurid. I have been so curious about it.

Any easy way to get them unattached other than untying each arm one at a time? [00:29:10] Ha. Nope, not really. If they get warm they will relax their arms a little, but likely best not given that these samples should stay cold. [00:29:38] there are no shortcuts to good science @Steve! [00:29:51] Can always snip the coral strategically to "release" the arms if that helps.... [00:29:54] hahahaha.... [00:30:06] oh boy [00:30:21] Ha. @Amanda- actually thank you for reminding me.....

Trying to get these ophs off the coral when it gets mucousy is like torture! [00:34:00] Hopefully the OPH task is being done after various snippets (incl of the coral) are already preserved for genetics... [00:34:31] Yes, it is [00:34:38] @Steve- suggest you leave the anenome attached, cutting the coral branch on either side- the question of how it is attached will be important (would be good to know the spatial relationship to nearest polyps/remnant polyps [00:34:42] What? [00:35:05] @Steve: sorry for even saying it. I was sure you were doing so but better to be a jerk now than sorry later. [00:35:30] @Tim I was considering that for the @Anemone [00:36:50] Nice spot. [00:37:13] Is the large white one on the side a bamboo coral? [00:37:20] Or another THouarella? [00:37:24] Or a sponge? [00:37:31] Stop me anytime...

[00:40:05] les: yes [00:40:11] WOW. Really long-arm crab on purple/green "plexaurid" [00:41:14] I am way delayed from you @Tim, crab just coming in to view [00:41:17] coral density high here....

[00:43:01] I don't know... From here I can't tell if there are polyp leaves [00:43:12] asakomatsumoto leaves the room: Replaced by new connection [00:43:18] We need a close up to see if poluyp[s are indidvidual... [00:43:40] plus major scour around the rock outcrops [00:44:17] For future reference: one of the ways to distinguish sea pen genera is to note if the polyps arise directly from the main "stem" polyp, or if they arise on small "leaves" or arms of the main stem polyp. [00:45:01] looks like a munida [00:45:14] nope Eumunida [00:46:04] Looks like Narella bowersi [00:46:19] That sort of open "candelabra" colony shape [00:46:22] Something out in sediment to the left. May be a large shrimp, but can't tell. [00:46:22] jaymesawbrey leaves the room [00:46:50] That species almost always has a single oph in its branches, as well.

[00:59:19] asakomatsumoto leaves the room [00:59:26] I see an owl face [00:59:39] Photobombed by a shrimp [00:59:40] Especially with those laser dots in there [01:01:00] Amanda - you may recall that the Paramuricea in Baltimore Canyon are also mixed yellow and purple... [01:01:02] Odd geology. It looks like a wave-cut bench from a low sea-level stand in the past, but that can't be at this depth and for FeMn encrusted basalt. [01:01:47] From a sessile megafauna perspective, the view into the plateau looks pretty desolate. [01:02:20] We haven't seen many bamboo corals either, I think... Or did I miss them? [01:02:39] FEw bamboos. Mostly sparse branchers.

[01:06:03] Is that closer to Rhodaniridogorgia? [01:06:16] yeah @Tim, its a Bathypalaemonella [01:06:23] Lower on the colony it seemed more wavy than coiled. [01:06:32] Antennal scales had irridescent setae on them...

The axis looks hollow, althought maybe thats because the organic matter is gone. [01:33:53] yep you are right Amanda…. [01:33:55] yes Amanda, there were large angular blocks on promintories loaded with paramuricea. [01:33:57] but the growth pattern could be primnoid like [01:34:39] Polychaetes had bored in the last dead base we saw similar to that dead colony. It appeared holo.

[01:49:35] my guess is Metallogorgia. [01:49:41] No, but they don't have monopodial axis - I just checked [01:49:46] pretty straight axis...
