5. Cliona celata agreggation on upper circalittoral rocky bottom DESCRIPTION: Cliona celata is a species that can occupy large surfaces in the upper circalittoral rocky bottoms of low sedimentation. This aggregation has been recorded by OCEANA along the Cantabrian Sea. In many areas the substrata is covered by species such as Corynactis viridis and/or Halichondria panicea. The aggregations of this species can appear together with important facies of the gorgonian Eunicella verrucosa or other sponge’s species aggregations as Artemisina transiens. In Galicia, these aggregations are also common in kelp forest (Laminaria ochroleuca). The equinoderms (Echinus esculentus, Holothuria forskali) are very abundant as part of this community. DEPTH: 38- 53 m TYPE OF SUBSTRATE: rocky bottoms in areas with low sedimenation. Cliona celata aggregations on upper circalittoral rocky bottoms in the Cantabrian Sea 63
