Info
§lat is a deep-sea coral that is native to the North Pacific, around Hawaii, where it occurs at very great depths.
These corals can only be filmed with a deep-sea submarine and collected for identification and examination.
Therefore, very few people will be lucky enough to see the azooxanthellate coral in person.
In addition to Hawaii, SeaLifeBase also lists the Mediterranean as an area of occurrence for §lat.
We would like to thank the NOOA Ocean Eyplorer for the first photo of this coral.
