I wrote an 800-page field guide on Indo-Pacific corals that covers just about every genus of stony coral, soft coral, anemone, hydroid, etc. That's it. That's the tweet. reefbuilders.com/2020/11/30/…

Indo Pacific Corals, a New Coral ID Book by Joe Rowlett | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater...

W.531 / Juan Fernández Seamount Chain / Southeast Pacific A kaleidoscope of colours thriving deep beneath the ocean's surface, where lush coral forests flourish, revealing the remarkable biodiversity of the underwater mountains of the Juan Fernández Ridge. Over 100 new species, including deep-sea corals, glass sponges, sea urchins, amphipods, squat lobsters, and more, are estimated to have been discovered on a recent @SchmidtOcean expedition off the coast of Chile. More info about the expedition on the cruise page here: schmidtocean.org/cruise/seam… 🌊🏔

Dofleinia armata (striped anemone) - Broome. Its body is covered with nematocysts (stinging cells). Each n-cyst is loaded with neurotoxins that interfere with the nervous system by switching off electrical signals in the cells. No comm's b/w cells leads to paralysis ☠️ look out🦀
