Remarks: More than 2000 corallites were collected at Manaure ( La Guajira ), co-occurring with antipatharians, sponges, bryozoans and octocorals. No differences were observed between Colombian specimens and those previously described by Cairns (1979 ; 2000). Distribution: Atlantic, eastern Pacific and Indian Oceans; from 35 to 229 m depth ( Cairns 1979 ; 2000; Cairns & Zibrowius 1997 ).

It has also been collected around the Rosario and San Bernardo Archipelago, from 94 to 100 m depth.
