Antipathes furcata Gray 1857
Antipathes furcata Gray, 1857 Antipathes furcata forms fan-shaped colonies that are typically less than 50 cm in height, with long branches that grow in narrow branch angles (Figure 2a–b). The terminal branches typically reach lengths of 5 cm or more without becoming branched. Skeletal spines are sm...

Antipathes furcata Gray, 1857 Antipathes furcata forms fan-shaped colonies that are typically less than 50 cm in height, with long branches that grow in narrow branch angles (Figure 2a–b). The terminal branches typically reach lengths of 5 cm or more without becoming branched. Skeletal spines are smooth, triangular or slightly inclined distally, and occasionally include some that are bifurcated towards their apex (Figure 2d). The spines are generally 30–70 µm in height and typically 50–70 µm in width at their base. On smaller branches, the spines are arranged in axial rows with adjoining rows offset in a spiral pattern around the corallum (Figure 2d). Spine spacing is fairly regular within each row, and typically ranges between 240–280 µm. The polyps are arranged on only one side of the branches, are generally 0.6– 1.0 mm in transverse diameter, and are spaced 1.1–1.3 mm apart (Figure 2c).
