09/06/2014,11:32:15,briankennedy,  Good morning all. Today’s dive will be in Washington Canyon in about 650 meters of water. We are on track to have the vehicles in the water around 0815 and we will start the conference call line shortly after that.   
09/06/2014,11:42:11,Catalina Martinez,I1 feeds look great and audio is loud and clear.
09/06/2014,11:42:18,Catalina Martinez,Good morning all
09/06/2014,11:58:31,Jamie Austin,Good morning everyone.  Today we are diving on the south flank of Washington Canyon.  We should be in the water around 0830.  We should be on the seafloor until ~1600-1615.  Stay tuned for the start time of our telecon.  Welcome!

09/06/2014,14:12:48,Scott France,CORO Anthothela
09/06/2014,14:13:03,Scott France,Yes - octocoral, likely genus Anthothela
09/06/2014,14:13:28,Scott France,These are fairly common in the canyons along east coast of US
09/06/2014,14:13:40,Scott France,We saw many in Baltimore and Norfolk Canyons
09/06/2014,14:14:52,kaseycantwell,>CRARED
09/06/2014,14:15:00,Scott France,This group of octocorals is interesting in that the skeleton is made of consolidated microskeletal elements ("sclerites") rather than a proteinaceous central axis (as you'd see in sea fans - gorgonians)
09/06/2014,14:15:30,Scott France,So more like a cemented skeleton rather than a woody-like skeleton
09/06/2014,14:15:44,Scott France,(by woody-like I mean in appearance, not composition
09/06/2014,14:16:13,Scott France,I expect we'll see more Anthothela upslope.

09/06/2014,14:34:43,kaseycantwell,you are looking for three orange disks 
09/06/2014,14:35:05,Scott France,There was a flytrap anemone open, and the 3 cups were to the left of that. Wasn't too far.
09/06/2014,14:35:07,kaseycantwell,the sometimes look like a white tear drop 
09/06/2014,14:35:23,kaseycantwell,*they

09/06/2014,14:40:54,Scott France,All 4 of these are Paragorgia bubblegum corals - ppink and white morphs
09/06/2014,14:41:13,kaseycantwell,how fast do paragorgia grow?
09/06/2014,14:41:20,Scott France,These have the same "cemented" skeleton structure as the Anthothela
09/06/2014,14:42:12,kaseycantwell,is that an egg case?
09/06/2014,14:42:13,Scott France,When they are dry you can crumble the skeleton by rubbing your finger on it.
09/06/2014,14:42:25,Scott France,I thinnk that is a skate egg case
09/06/2014,14:43:06,Scott France,These Paragorgia are interesting for their LACK of brittlestars and crabs…
09/06/2014,14:43:25,Scott France,As you stated Jamie, usually there are many associates on these corals.
09/06/2014,14:43:34,kaseycantwell,when we zoom out can you get the lasers on their base?
09/06/2014,14:43:52,Scott France,You can see how the base of the Paragorgia creep (grow) outward - and they popup new stalks.
09/06/2014,14:44:00,kaseycantwell,thats great there
09/06/2014,14:44:10,kaseycantwell,thank you@

09/06/2014,14:49:08,kaseycantwell,the far one had a bright red mass, which looked like eggs? 
09/06/2014,14:49:29,kaseycantwell,Brad Stevens can go back and look at the video later :-)
09/06/2014,14:50:07,Scott France,Certainly could be - eggs would be carried on legs of the abdomen, which is folded under the body. Often the fan the abdomen to circulate water/O2 to eggs.
09/06/2014,14:51:21,Scott France,I still believe these finely-branched white things are sponges. They look too soft for hydroids.

We are at about 522 meters right now. Much muddy than here - very few outcrops seen so far on that dive.

09/06/2014,15:21:23,Scott France,So either zoanthids or anemones. Based on smooth polyp walls, I'd say anemones - in a bunch!
09/06/2014,15:21:47,kaseycantwell,ACN
09/06/2014,15:22:21,Scott France,Smooth and relatively tall polyps (relative to width) also suggestive of ACN anemone

09/06/2014,15:23:36,kaseycantwell,how can you tell the difference? 
09/06/2014,15:23:40,Scott France,The question is if the amphipods are clinging to the tentacles, or if they are stuck to tentacles. Are any atttached by their back?
09/06/2014,15:24:08,Scott France,I think these are the same amphipods that have been following us in the sawrm, i.e. they are the swarm.
09/06/2014,15:25:05,Scott France,Kasey - we'd need to see tentacle tips (knobbed or not) and the shape of the mouth (raised or not) and the relative height/width of the polyp.

09/06/2014,15:38:57,robertcarney,Note: Rose fish and the hake show some color patterns.  Patterns are more of a lighted ocean trait than a deep trait.  In lightless deep colors are usually homogenous
09/06/2014,15:39:37,kaseycantwell,Is that a salp or a Siphonophore?

09/06/2014,15:40:52,robertcarney,salp is a chordate colony
09/06/2014,15:41:00,Scott France,Salp is a chordate and would appear as a chain or barrel-like bodies
09/06/2014,15:41:17,Scott France,SIP are cnidarians - pelagic colonial hydroids
09/06/2014,15:42:14,Scott France,Not a hagfish - this has a jaw, hagfish don't

09/06/2014,18:55:24,kaseycantwell,what will the solid tentacles tell you ?
09/06/2014,18:55:39,Scott France,That it is a hydromedusae
09/06/2014,18:55:44,Scott France,And I think it is.
09/06/2014,18:55:44,kaseycantwell,I think it has something caught
09/06/2014,18:56:09,Scott France,Really nice view when it turned of the radial canals leading from the central stomach.
09/06/2014,18:57:30,Scott France,Siphonophores (including Port-man-o-war) are all hydrozoans (pelagic ones) so they are more closely related to hydromedusae than they are to true jellyfish.
09/06/2014,18:58:38,Scott France,Sorry Jaime: true jellyfish = scyphozoans. ALL of them - scyphos and hydros (and corals for that matter) are cnidarians.

09/06/2014,19:02:55,kaseycantwell,That's what I heard as well
09/06/2014,19:06:40,Scott France,Hopefully this is resolved safely and quickly. In the meantime, I'm trying to see if I can learn more about that hydromedusae. In doing so I think I found an image of a different hydromedusae we saw earlier: Benthocodon, see http://jellieszone.com/Output/Hydromedusae/bssn1_popup1-5.htm
09/06/2014,19:07:31,kaseycantwell,I think this was the one we saw in the gulf as well that we couldn't get a good identification on
