Mixed gorgonian garden (Eunicella labiata, E. verrucosa, Leptogorgia sarmentosa and Paramuricea clavata) on circalittoral rocky bottom DESCRIPTION: This type of mixed gorgonian gardens grows on rocky substrate (small rocks, rocky slabs and submarine caves, etc.) that emerges on a sandy bottom on the Southwest coast of Portugal, in front of Sagres and Saint Vincent Cape. Some locations show bedrock covered by a lot of sediment. In some areas Paramuricea clavata is clearly predominant, while in other areas Leptogorgia sarmentosa populate the area more abundantly. Highest densities of this type of mixed gorgonian garden are between 59 and 75 m depth. On this shallow area other cnidarians predominate, such as Parazoanthus axinellae, Alcyonium sp., Nemertesia antennina and Diphasia margareta, apart from sponges as Phakellia ventilabrum and Cliona celata, echinoderms such as Holothuria forskali and Astrospartus mediterraneus; and echiuridians as Bonellia viridis. The most common fish are Serranus cabrilla and shoals of Anthias anthias. Paramuricea clavata can be recorded down to 120 m depth, forming gardens dominated by this single species or mixed gardens with aggregations of deep sponges. In these deeper areas, the rocky bottom can be covered by a layer of sediment. This area also shows a more abundantly presence of other species, such as Dendrophyllia cornigera and Centrostephanus longispinus DEPTH: 59- 120 m 27
