Mediterranean lower bathyal Madrepora oculata and Lophelia pertusa reefs

This facies is characterised by the copresence of the two species of deep sea corals Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata. The dead parts that are not under mud are very much colonised by bryozoans, brachiopods and serpulid polychaetes, and constitute centers of diversity for the sessile fauna of the continental slope.
