Info

Very special thanks for the great photo of all three morphotypes of Paramuricea macrospina (orange, red and yellow) from Skerki Banks, in the Strait of Sicily between Sicily and Tunisia, to Egidio Trainito from Italy!!

Paramuricea macrospina is sympatric with Eunicella cavolini (top) and Paramuricea clavata (below).
The coral shows not the typical habitus of Paramuricea macrospina, which is usually thinner and less colorful, this form seem to be common in Sicily Channel

The coral ist a host of Anamenia gorgonophila (Kowalevsky, 1880)

Synonym: Muricea macrospina Koch, 1882
