Mixed cold water coral community on Atlantic lower bathyal coarse sediment

This broad community contains those biotopes where corals dominate but do not form a living coral reef. A mixture of different coral types can be present. Associated species are similar to sparse encrusting community, including sponges and ophiuroids. On Atlantic lower bathyal coarse sediment discrete colonies of Solenosmilia attach to coral rubble.
