Comments	The Dwarf Red Gorgonian Coral forms small, delicate fans up to 20 cm across. It is abundant at depths below 20 m in Agamemnon Channel and Sabine Channel. Often found together with the Pink Candelabrum Gorgonian Coral in Agamemnon Channel and are sometimes mistaken for juveniles of the latter species.
