Primnoa pacifica
Primnoa pacifica or Red Tree Coral is a cnidarian.[1] Red Tree Corals are listed as Habitat Areas of Particular Concern.[2]
Habitat
P. pacifica is typically a deep water coral normally found between 150 metres (490 ft) and 900 metres (3,000 ft).[3] In 2010, it was found in the unique habitat of the Tracy Arm fjord between 20 feet (6.1 m) and 100 feet (30 m).[3]
