A gentle mud upslope with Cidaris cidaris and a dense colony of small (<5 cm wide) brown anemones. Transitions to a gravel/mud sediment with sparse epifauna and isolated colonies of Lophelia pertusa (25-50% living). Many epifauna species are present on L. pertusa reefs.

Occasional cobbles/boulders are colonised by L. pertusa, large cerianthids and the scleractinian Flabellum sp. are observed. Elsewhere the steep slope hosts mostly dead coral reefs (<1% living) on coarse sediment. When 25-50% living corals occur anemones and echinoids are present.

START VIDEO [00:00:00]/00:32. ROV is on the seafloor. It samples two pushcores. Mud gentle upslope where Cidaris cidaris OTU211 dominates. [00:12:00] Here a dense colony of small (<5 cm wide) brown anemones covers the muddy slope. [00:23:00] Now mud becomes rippled. Brown anemones still present. [00:32:00] Now gravel/mud sediment begins, hosting sparse epifauna. [00:53:00] Here isolated colonies of Lophelia pertusa on coarse sediment (25-50% living). [00:53:00] Mud cloud/vision obscured briefly. [01:02:00] ROV stops for imagery of Callogorgia verticillata OTU280 living on coral. [01:05:00] Occasional cobbles/boulders encountered hosting L. pertusa colonies. [01:13:00] ROV moves slowly to sample imagery of Pachycerianthus multiplicatus OTU458 and reef on cobble. [01:20:00] ROV stops again for imagery of many epifauna species on cobble, including cf Psolus sp. OTU1049. [01:25:00] Now imagery of scleractinian Flabellum sp. OTU1056. [01:34:00] Again here imagery of epifauna on rocky outcrop. [01:36:00] Now cobbles/boulders become more sparse. [01:43:00] Here ROV stops for imagery of dead L. pertusa reef/framework with a couple of crustaceans Bathynectes sp. OTU235. [01:48:00] Here steep slope hosts mostly dead coral reefs (<1% living) on coarse sediment. [01:56:00] Many epifauna species living on L. pertusa reefs. 25-50% living corals host anemones and sea urchins. VIDEO ENDS AT [02:00:00]/02:32.
