Gorgone à épines, géante Socle rectangulaire noir
PU557-2
Though it is definitely coming from the sea, this gorgonia looks like a bush. It seems to have been growing in a place with strong movements in the sea. The strong currents forced this animal ( a huge colony of small polyps in fact) to grow slowly , and so to develop a strong and large skeleton to resist the currents. It's a uniquer form coming from Micronesia.
