Antipathes subpinnata forest on circalittoral rocky bottom DESCRIPTION: Antipathes subpinnata occurs on bedrock over abrupt areas with little sedimentation, as well as on vertical walls and huge slope areas. In Galicia this type of forest occurs where Dendrophyllia cornigera is also very abundant in the community, forming up important forests as well. Some echinoderms (Holothuria forskali, Echinus esculentus) are also present in a high number. DEPTH: 57 - 105 m TYPE OF SUBSTRATE: Rocky bottom, little sediment, abrupt.
