[00:05:59] <stevenauscavitch> back online?
[00:06:03] <asakomatsumoto> @Scott: its not me who said this purple fan is different from that we collected. I said that the one at 2200m was different from others. not this one.
[00:06:17] <asakomatsumoto> video back!
[00:07:17] <stevenauscavitch> I missed the talk about possible collections. Did anyone feel strongly about any one in particular?
[00:10:02] <stevenauscavitch> We have basically reached the ridge crest. We will zig and zag. to the endpoint for the next 2 hours
[00:10:03] <asakomatsumoto> @Steve: Scott mentioned no collection priorities yet.
[00:10:12] <stevenauscavitch> ok

[00:10:39] <scottfrance> o collection priorities yet, unless as Asako noted this purple fan is different from the more typical Victorgorgia thta we collected on an earlier dive.
[00:11:35] <asakomatsumoto> Hi Scott! see my previous comment few minuits ago!
[00:11:56] <asakomatsumoto> copy: I said that the one at 2200m was different from others. not this one.
[00:12:22] <scottfrance> @Asako: thanks for the clarification. My apologies.
[00:14:37] <scottfrance> Sounds good. I would even suggest dropping over the "side" a couple of meters if conditions are appropriate (for both ROV ops and for interesting community)
[00:15:19] <okexnav> LAT :-8.19865, LON : -172.86708, DEPTH :       754.1381m, TEMP :          5.97060C, SAL :         34.52118 PSU, DO :          3.48411 mg/L
[00:15:20] <asakomatsumoto> how about to collect pink corallid if there is no specially priority? we have not collected pink one during this cruise.
[00:15:32] <asakomatsumoto> (at least in my memory)
[00:15:54] <stevenauscavitch> That's right, no pink corallid yet
[00:16:57] <asakomatsumoto> it could be good comparison for biogeography for this region.
[00:18:30] erikcordes leaves the room
[00:18:33] <scottfrance> I would be fine with a collection of a pink coralliid.
[00:18:55] <scottfrance> Is it possible the little "groths" are siphonozooids?
[00:19:01] <scottfrance> *growths
[00:19:58] <timothyshank> I am agreeable to a collection as well

[00:22:36] <scottfrance> Again a relatively thick diamter axis
[00:23:06] <scottfrance> Injured tip?
[00:23:12] <scottfrance> exposed skelton
[00:23:33] <santiagoherrera> yes, collection of Coralliid would be good
[00:23:34] <scottfrance> Possible B clade for this whip
[00:23:50] <santiagoherrera> still hopeful for a Sibogagorgia specimen
[00:24:02] <stevenauscavitch> yes santiago, maybe
[00:24:22] <scottfrance> I think both bamboo whips have been the same species
[00:25:00] <timothyshank> really not sure what that was on the tip of that whip- oph arm apparent, and transparent- looking oph on the top....

[00:25:22] <timothyshank> homolid crab- no apparent associate...
[00:25:24] nicolemorgan leaves the room
[00:26:00] <scottfrance> Have seen lots of those little transparent things. If ophs molted then I would say it was a oph molt.
[00:26:35] <stevenauscavitch> I like to think they were just unsuccessful ophiuroids...
[00:26:37] <timothyshank> @scott- agree- certainly looks like that.
[00:26:49] <timothyshank> "Clearly" unsuccessful

[00:35:30] <scottfrance> Peeking is good.
[00:36:00] <scottfrance> A little peek off the edge of the tippy-top, eh.
[00:37:30] <santiagoherrera> how much time remaining in this dive?

[00:51:24] <timothyshank> this looks like a different homolid again...?
[00:51:54] Randirotjan leaves the room
[00:52:48] <scottfrance> Good observation on those polyps, Amanda.
[00:53:12] <scottfrance> Shows those polyps are communicating wth one another.
[00:53:13] <amandademopoulos> thanks scott :)
[00:53:18] <scottfrance> Danger, danger!
[00:53:37] <timothyshank> two ophs as well...like many of the "narella" having 1 to 2.

[00:56:49] <scottfrance> Well, they aren't fighting over coral bits...
[00:57:10] <asakomatsumoto> fiting?
[00:57:17] <asakomatsumoto> *fighting
[00:57:23] <scottfrance> Would need to see abdominal flap to know if this is mating behavior
[00:58:08] <timothyshank> black spot or hole on carapace of the smaller one
[00:58:15] <scottfrance> The one on left has black patch on "forehead"
[00:58:46] <scottfrance> Perhaps the one on right was the dermatoloist havong a look at the black spot.
[01:00:03] <stevenauscavitch> @Scott That sounds like the most likely explaination yet

[01:03:18] <asakomatsumoto> polyps upward?
[01:03:41] <stevenauscavitch> not clear. looked similar to previous

[01:06:36] <asakomatsumoto> I thought it looked similar from the distance but I think previous colony had polyps downward..
[01:06:50] <timothyshank> same as we have seen previously - this shrimp

[01:07:09] katharineweathers leaves the room
[01:07:14] <timothyshank> 4 caridean morphs so far,  I think

[01:13:38] <scottfrance> Is there a reason that I missed about why we keep passing up a collection of these pink coralliids?
[01:14:09] <stevenauscavitch> Is there interest? I thought it was still in discussion
[01:14:14] <stevenauscavitch> We can of course grab one
[01:14:28] <timothyshank> Yes, agree.
[01:14:46] <scottfrance> I heard earlier interest from Asako and Santiago, to which both Tim and I agreed.
[01:15:06] <scottfrance> The point was made that no pink coralliids have been collected this leg.
[01:15:09] <asakomatsumoto> yes we interested in
[01:15:15] <timothyshank> representative of the dive- along with Narella primnoid
[01:15:18] <amandademopoulos> re collection: thanks for clarifying

[01:15:35] randirotjan leaves the room
[01:18:56] <stevenauscavitch> next pink corallid we will aim for collection

[01:21:43] <leswatling> a collection of the Victorgorgia would be worthwhile as well.
[01:21:55] <scottfrance> Do we still think that purple is a "Victorgorgia" vs a plexaurid?
[01:22:15] <scottfrance> @Les: it has been pointed out that Victorgorgia has already been collected on this leg...
[01:22:30] <scottfrance> But this one seems different to me.
[01:22:34] <leswatling> I didn't remember that...
[01:23:20] <leswatling> I did make a comment earlier in the leg about the fact that we keep seeing them, calling them V.... and not collecting. So, glad to hear that one was collected.
[01:23:33] <asakomatsumoto> @Les. the Victorgorgia collected at Dive04.
[01:23:42] <scottfrance> @Les: DIVE04_SPEC03BIO
[01:23:52] <leswatling> Thanks@Asako
[01:24:05] <scottfrance> from 1043 m depth
[01:24:28] <leswatling> a wee bit deeper. could be different...
[01:24:40] <scottfrance> @Les: agree with your earlier comment on identity. I made the same observation!
[01:24:59] <scottfrance> Made reference to that giant purple plexaurid we found in N Atl

[01:25:41] <leswatling> Agree, that one was different... polyps on the axis I think... and smaller polyps maybe?
[01:26:45] <timothyshank> eumunida crab I think
[01:27:16] <scottfrance> Zig zagger

[01:45:34] <dhugallindsay> where are all the jellies I was hoping for....?
[01:45:58] <scottfrance> You missed all of them earlier! :-)
[01:46:12] <scottfrance> Actually, we have seen several jellies today.
[01:46:23] <scottfrance> And a couple of beautiful rhodalids
[01:46:53] <scottfrance> Benthocodon... some pigmented scypho... others
[01:47:36] <dhugallindsay> what!!? Cool! Have to see those videos later!!
[01:48:03] <dhugallindsay> ctenophores?
[01:48:44] <scottfrance> No ctenophores today.
[01:48:54] <scottfrance> Pelagic or benthic.
[01:49:32] <dhugallindsay> too bad. Usually in oligotrophic waters you get a lot so I guess they are all up shallower in the mesopelagic..

[01:50:45] <dhugallindsay> collect any zoanthids?
[01:50:51] <scottfrance> At the beginning of the dive we saw many midwater fish close to the bottom, which I thought was a little unusual.
[01:51:22] <scottfrance> One collection today and it may have had zoanthids on it. Or maybe they were barnacles! I didn't get that close a look, but Steve may have.
[01:51:56] <stevenauscavitch> There were a few zoanthids, mostly on Sponges
[01:53:02] <dhugallindsay> If it is shallow enough you can get vertically migrating plankton congregating near the bottom as they can't physically go any deeper and the fish do the same - either for DVM or just for snacks. Thought you were diving a bit too deep for that but who knows. We know so little about the area you are in..
[01:54:57] <scottfrance> Are we surprised?
[01:55:11] <scottfrance> That is: surprised to find something interesting when it is time to go?
[01:55:22] <scottfrance> No. We are not surprised. I will speak for you all.

[02:02:20] <dhugallindsay> little bit more lighting from the side possible? so we can ID those ctenophores when they float by?
