FIGURE 2. (A, B, C) In-situ images of giant file clams, Acesta sp., from The Gully, located approximately 200 kilometres off Nova Scotia, to the east of Sable Island, on the edge of the Scotian Shelf. Specimens are assumed to be A. cryptadelphe sp. nov. The cup coral and glass sponge in (B) are Desmophyllum Ehrenberg and Asconema Kent, respectively. The crinoids and glass sponge in (C) are unidentified. (D) Close-up of A. cryptadelphe sp. nov. specimen CMNML 097158 freshly collected with the ROPOS ROV.
