4.5. Viminella flagellum garden on lower circalittoral and bathyal rocky bottoms DESCRIPTION: These gardens occur on rocks or rocky outcrops on a soft or sandy bottom. In some areas there are mixed substrates where rocky and sandy areas alternate or areas where the hard substrate can be completely covered by compact sediment. A lot of sponges appear as part of this community (Tedania sp. and other unidentified demospongiae), together with sea urchins (Centrostephanus longispinus and Diadema antillarum), starfish (Hacelia superba) and fish like Serranus atricauda and shoals of Anthias anthias. DEPTH: 120 - 170 m TYPE OF SUBSTRATE: This species develops on rocks that emerge on the surface of mixed sandy-rocky bottoms and on areas fully covered by compact sediment.

Sea urchins (Centrostephanus longispinus) are abundant, as well as shoal of Anthias anthias.
