The Alvin submersible dives on the New England Seamount chain found plentiful coral colonys of whip coral, parasol coral, and beautiful spiraling Iridogorgia. These coral collections are made up of hundreds of tiny polyps, arranged in precise geometric patterns. Video courtesy of Les Watling, Mountains in the Sea Exploration, NOAA-OE.

That must be pretty interesting. Too bad there ain’t no video attached to this post… I don’t think it’s a technical problem on my site.

Sounds good, but may we have the site where we can see and download video.
Many thanks
