Lebrunia coralligens, the Hidden Anemone. Uncommon, hidden in cracks from which long pseudotentacles extend with roundish, differently colored tips. Brown to bluish in color. True tentacles are long, unbranched. DiF Roatan 2017.
 

Pseudopterygorgia (now Antillogorgia) bipinnata, Bipinnate Sea Plume. Colonies as single planes of bilaterally arranged branchlets. Usually purple, sometimes yellow to white. One of the most popular aquarium Sea Fans due to its beauty, small size (to two feet tall in the wild) and relative hardiness (when collected, held, shipped properly). Here in Roatan in 2019, growing on a rope.
