08/12/2015,00:03:02,brucemundy,Same wierd shrimp. Polychelidae?
08/12/2015,00:03:09,leswatling,yep Polychelid
08/12/2015,00:03:24,leswatling,the claws are folded along the side of the body
08/12/2015,00:03:27,tinamolodtsova,it is POlychelus)
08/12/2015,00:03:33,Scott France,Yes!
08/12/2015,00:04:18,leswatling,nice, when we have seen them before they are partially buried in the sand
08/12/2015,00:04:35,tinamolodtsova,my first experience with living one)
08/12/2015,00:04:46,leswatling,that was a nice dorsal shot that should allow identification later
08/12/2015,00:05:01,leswatling,especially good view of the telson

08/12/2015,00:06:41,tinamolodtsova,ok
08/12/2015,00:06:56,leswatling,more Rhodaniridogorgia
08/12/2015,00:07:32,leswatling,looks like the current must be coming from the right side.... what direction is that?
08/12/2015,00:08:11,okeanosexplorer,that would be east
08/12/2015,00:08:46,leswatling,true east, give or take 15 degrees or so?
08/12/2015,00:08:59,tinamolodtsova,Thank you
08/12/2015,00:09:13,leswatling,nice long pharynx

08/12/2015,00:10:26,okeanosexplorer,les, its coming from the northeast
08/12/2015,00:10:36,leswatling,interesting comment Tina.... we are very interested in the polyp design

08/12/2015,00:19:43,leswatling,and polyps have pink lips
08/12/2015,00:20:07,Nicole Morgan,@Tina, a couple other ones that have been zoomed were on bare skeleton. Cri maybe not good for coral?
08/12/2015,00:20:58,tinamolodtsova,to my experience they (CRI) always are siiting on bare skeleton. even small ones

08/12/2015,00:31:29,tinamolodtsova,l have to eave you
08/12/2015,00:31:36,leswatling,and there seems to be a large number of small ones

08/12/2015,00:32:24,michaelparke,Possibly episodic long interval recruitment?
08/12/2015,00:32:46,leswatling,yeah, I think that is what is going on
08/12/2015,00:33:43,leswatling,there are places where the corals are all very large and there are no young ones. Since the corals live for several hundred years, that means recruitment could be once a century or more.

08/12/2015,00:39:48,leswatling,nice
08/12/2015,00:40:26,brucemundy,Keep callin' 'em in.
08/12/2015,00:40:38,brucemundy,Macrouridae
08/12/2015,00:41:01,brucemundy,Looks like the same round-snouted species as previously.
08/12/2015,00:41:50,mackenziegarringer,FSH - Trachonurus? 
08/12/2015,00:42:04,brucemundy,Something dark in water column at right, off screen. Would be worth a look.
08/12/2015,00:42:44,brucemundy,Dark thing was drifting or swimming by, so it might be difficult to find again.
08/12/2015,00:43:07,leswatling,that Paragorgia is under assault from all kinds of things
08/12/2015,00:44:16,Diva Amon,megalodicopia?

08/12/2015,00:47:27,Diva Amon,thats the only genus that i know of 
08/12/2015,00:47:32,Diva Amon,for the predatory tunicate
08/12/2015,00:47:39,Diva Amon,that looks like that
08/12/2015,00:47:46,Amy Baco-Taylor,Looks different from others I've seen
08/12/2015,00:48:37,Scott France,I agree Amy. I wonder if it is the angle
08/12/2015,00:48:55,leswatling,or it just ate something....
08/12/2015,00:49:03,Scott France,But don't know what else it could be
08/12/2015,00:49:05,Diva Amon,It may not be that genus, but it looks like it hunched over when compared to megalodicopia ive seen before
08/12/2015,00:49:24,Diva Amon,i agree with les. maybe it is just digesting. 
08/12/2015,00:51:09,Diva Amon,lots of bases with no corals
08/12/2015,00:51:31,Scott France,We just need a purple Victorgorgia!
08/12/2015,00:51:34,brucemundy,FSH
08/12/2015,00:51:39,Amy Baco-Taylor,looks like strong current
08/12/2015,00:52:01,brucemundy,went past on lower left. probably another macrourid of the same species seen before
08/12/2015,00:52:12,Scott France,Looks like a hefty current here!

08/12/2015,00:58:06,Diva Amon,SQA
08/12/2015,00:58:17,Diva Amon,Munidopsis
08/12/2015,00:58:41,leswatling,that was my thought, but cant see the snail. Of course, at the rate at which things settle, the trail could last a long time.
08/12/2015,00:58:50,Diva Amon,SPO
08/12/2015,00:59:24,Diva Amon,POL!
08/12/2015,00:59:45,Diva Amon,No, above the SQA
08/12/2015,00:59:48,Amy Baco-Taylor,holothurian could do that too
08/12/2015,01:00:09,Scott France,Even chitons!
08/12/2015,01:00:15,leswatling,good point.
08/12/2015,01:00:17,Amy Baco-Taylor,not as common on hard substrate though
08/12/2015,01:00:27,Scott France,No, but we did see one today
08/12/2015,01:00:32,Amy Baco-Taylor,what is status of collecting?
08/12/2015,01:00:41,Diva Amon,I dont think the POL made the trails. I was just pointing out a POL that was above the SQA
08/12/2015,01:00:55,brucemundy,Ophidiidae
08/12/2015,01:01:13,brucemundy,Another of the Bassozetus type.
08/12/2015,01:01:44,brucemundy,Fish - show us your profile!
08/12/2015,01:01:48,brucemundy,Nice
08/12/2015,01:02:00,brucemundy,What a well-trained fish.
08/12/2015,01:02:59,Scott France,Plexaurid
08/12/2015,01:03:06,Scott France,Nicely done Chris
08/12/2015,01:03:14,Amy Baco-Taylor,Collect?
08/12/2015,01:03:37,Amy Baco-Taylor,Catch-all family
08/12/2015,01:04:19,Scott France,Well, it is the only plexaurid we've seen on the expedition...
08/12/2015,01:04:31,Amy Baco-Taylor,Maybe we should leave it until we find another?
08/12/2015,01:04:32,leswatling,probably a Paramuricea which is impossible to get to species...
08/12/2015,01:04:35,Scott France,So on the one hand it is interesting because it is rare...
08/12/2015,01:04:39,randysinger,hello!
08/12/2015,01:04:44,Scott France,But on other hand it is the only one!
08/12/2015,01:04:49,Scott France,Do we want to mangle it?
08/12/2015,01:05:00,Amy Baco-Taylor,They tend to not break easily too, so often end up w whole colony when collect

08/12/2015,01:05:22,Scott France,Would need tyo cut
08/12/2015,01:05:22,randysinger,tomorrow is the AMA right?
08/12/2015,01:05:44,leswatling,well, its the only one you've seen but I doubt its the only one....
08/12/2015,01:05:49,okeanosexplorer,AMA?
08/12/2015,01:06:00,randysinger,Ask Me Anything
08/12/2015,01:06:04,randysinger,on Reddit
08/12/2015,01:06:09,randysinger,last time we made the front page
08/12/2015,01:06:19,okeanosexplorer,yes
08/12/2015,01:06:32,randysinger,cool I'll make sure im on call for it. What time do we start?
08/12/2015,01:08:32,Scott France,Plexauridae. Genus possibilities: Paramuricea, Anthomuricea, Paracis (if with large "paving stone" sclerites)
08/12/2015,01:08:57,okeanosexplorer,Reddit will post our topic at 8 am ET and people can begin asking questions at that time; however, we are not on the hook to respond to anything until 2 - 4 pm ET
08/12/2015,01:08:59,Amy Baco-Taylor,We get Keroides here too
08/12/2015,01:09:26,okeanosexplorer,thanks amy
08/12/2015,01:10:54,okeanosexplorer,we will try to get the whole colony, allen
08/12/2015,01:11:26,Amy Baco-Taylor,Were there any other bio collections?
08/12/2015,01:11:30,Scott France,Looks something like Paracis squamata based partly on main axis color and texture
08/12/2015,01:11:57,Scott France,Amy: I doubt it. Already have 3 bio and only 20 min left in dive
08/12/2015,01:12:03,okeanosexplorer,yes, we already collected a chrysogorgia and a sponge, amy
08/12/2015,01:12:13,leswatling,It has an Asteroschema so I bet its a Paramuricea.
08/12/2015,01:12:18,Amy Baco-Taylor,I wasn't asking to collect mroe I was asking what we have collected
08/12/2015,01:12:25,Scott France,haha Les!
08/12/2015,01:12:25,Amy Baco-Taylor,Thanks Daniel
08/12/2015,01:12:27,Diva Amon,good work!
08/12/2015,01:12:37,michaelparke,let's take bets on the age of this one
08/12/2015,01:13:07,Amy Baco-Taylor,Paracis miyajimai is the one Steve assigns some of ours too, not sure if this is it
08/12/2015,01:13:46,Amy Baco-Taylor,I don't see thebig scales
08/12/2015,01:14:03,leswatling,this is unusual in that the axis is  different color and texture that the polyps.
08/12/2015,01:14:42,leswatling,the polyps are not contracting in the typical Paramuricea way either
08/12/2015,01:15:54,okexnav,LAT :26.81916, LON : -176.31656, DEPTH :1847.4412m, TEMP :  1.98771C, SAL : 34.61489 PSU, DO :  2.63250 mg/L
08/12/2015,01:15:54,leswatling,there are several other plexaurids that are possible. Not sure which genera have been collected in the area already.
08/12/2015,01:16:25,Amy Baco-Taylor,They need to be reworked Les, but there is alist above in the chat
08/12/2015,01:17:33,brucemundy,Macrouridae
08/12/2015,01:17:37,brucemundy,FSH
08/12/2015,01:17:47,randysinger,my PhD focuses on Education and OUtreach using museum specimens and Okeanos is the best way to engage life long learners, students etc
08/12/2015,01:18:31,brucemundy,Macrourid just hovered over basket in Feed 2. Gone now.
08/12/2015,01:19:39,Scott France,That is an interesting view!
08/12/2015,01:21:07,leswatling,There is also a Bebryce collected from Hawaii.... so a fourth genus as a possibility
08/12/2015,01:22:24,leswatling,Althoiugh maybe its no longer a Bebryce since it was described by Nutting
08/12/2015,01:22:24,Scott France,That was awesome today!
08/12/2015,01:22:24,Amy Baco-Taylor,Keroides too
08/12/2015,01:22:25,Scott France,Thanks
08/12/2015,01:24:01,leswatling,Interesting today. Nice diving with all ofyou...

08/12/2015,19:35:49,leswatling,is that the edge of a lava flow over the old basalt?
08/12/2015,19:40:36,Scott France,Looks like possibly white Corallium or possibly Enallopsammia type scleractinians
08/12/2015,19:40:56,Diva Amon,grammaphone SPO
08/12/2015,19:40:58,Scott France,Definitely some pink CORC
08/12/2015,19:41:04,Diva Amon,gramaphone*
08/12/2015,19:41:31,Scott France,By the end of this cruise I may switch to becoming a sponge biologist! So cool.
08/12/2015,19:41:46,leswatling,lets start the day with an odd little coral growing at all orientations on the rocks
08/12/2015,19:41:47,Diva Amon,no still wrong: gramophone. 
08/12/2015,19:41:52,Diva Amon,got there in the end
08/12/2015,19:41:59,Scott France,Exactly Les. I thought the same!
08/12/2015,19:42:14,Scott France,Scattered in various orientations with respect to one abnother as well
08/12/2015,19:44:42,Scott France,So this is reverse the typical current we have been experiencing or predicting… Is that correct?

08/12/2015,19:46:01,Scott France,Oxygen conc high-ish today
08/12/2015,19:46:35,leswatling,yeah, like no consistent current or almost no current. 
08/12/2015,19:47:50,leswatling,and maybe asexual reproduction as well....
08/12/2015,19:48:07,leswatling,or short-lived planulae
08/12/2015,19:48:38,Scott France,I'm a bit surprised to see such large sponges on stalks in a strong current…
08/12/2015,19:48:52,Scott France,I would expect them to favor slightly slower flows
08/12/2015,19:49:02,leswatling,agree
08/12/2015,19:50:28,leswatling,hydrocoral?
08/12/2015,19:50:54,Diva Amon,bryozoan?
08/12/2015,19:51:18,Scott France,COR scleractinian I think
08/12/2015,19:51:26,Scott France,Polyps look too large for hydrocoral
08/12/2015,19:51:27,leswatling,I would say no to bryozoan because branches too thick with polyp at the ends.
08/12/2015,19:51:34,Brendan Roark,Looks very much like ennalopsimia sp?
08/12/2015,19:51:37,Scott France,at least from this distance
08/12/2015,19:51:50,Scott France,Agree Brendan - Enallopsammia like
08/12/2015,19:51:52,leswatling,maybe a relative of Enallopsammia
08/12/2015,19:52:14,Brendan Roark,We've sampled them in the Line isalnd
08/12/2015,19:52:18,Brendan Roark,islands
08/12/2015,19:52:39,leswatling,would be nice to see from the other side
08/12/2015,19:52:40,Brendan Roark,but I'm no expert
08/12/2015,19:52:52,leswatling,neither are any of us!
08/12/2015,19:53:20,Scott France,But I see a lot of "hook-like" caps ny the calyces, which would be hydrocoral character!
08/12/2015,19:53:33,Scott France,I saw one polyp that looked like scleractinian though
08/12/2015,19:53:38,Scott France,Need front view for sure
08/12/2015,19:53:45,leswatling,waffle, waffle
08/12/2015,19:53:50,Scott France,haha
08/12/2015,19:54:12,Scott France,Just trying to keep it honest!
08/12/2015,19:54:13,randysinger,that was the best pirate impression ive ever heard
08/12/2015,19:54:20,randysinger,"aye ya buggers!"
08/12/2015,19:54:22,Scott France,The constant battle in my brain!
08/12/2015,19:54:42,leswatling,I think hydrocoral
08/12/2015,19:54:47,Andrea Quattrini,Crypthelia? 
08/12/2015,19:54:55,Andrea Quattrini,STY

08/12/2015,19:55:10,Scott France,Andrea - I saw structyures that suggest something Crypthelia like
08/12/2015,19:55:15,Scott France,so could be
08/12/2015,19:55:32,Scott France,Hard covers over the calyx
08/12/2015,19:55:34,Andrea Quattrini,yes, we saw this often off Puerto Rico.Haven't confirmed it yet, but pretty certain. 
08/12/2015,19:55:45,leswatling,hydrocoral would explain their smallness and random orientation, I thnk. and dense patches...
08/12/2015,19:55:52,Scott France,Hopefully we'll be in a better position to view one more closely later
08/12/2015,19:57:41,Scott France,The calyces also coming off smaller branches/stals. More hydrocoral like than scleractinian
08/12/2015,19:57:47,Scott France,stalks
08/12/2015,19:57:49,Brendan Roark,I'm always so hesitant to make suggestions because I don't always trust the original identifications we were making while collecting a few years ago.
08/12/2015,19:57:58,Andrea Quattrini,yes I do think STY
08/12/2015,19:58:10,randysinger,wow powerful current
08/12/2015,19:58:22,Scott France,And looking down on those calyces the shape was wrong - more quadrate than round
08/12/2015,19:58:34,Scott France,I think HYD STY is right way to go
08/12/2015,19:58:40,Andrea Quattrini,check out http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/Publications/AFSC-TM/NOAA-TM-AFSC-146.pdf
08/12/2015,19:58:45,Scott France,CORC
08/12/2015,19:58:51,leswatling,yeah definitely quadrate
08/12/2015,20:00:10,leswatling,well, that's enough excitement for one dive... see y'all later! ;-)
08/12/2015,20:02:42,randysinger,we are currently on the second page of Reddit

08/12/2015,20:04:27,randysinger,good luck! I have my team on Facebook taking stills
08/12/2015,20:04:39,leswatling,those sponge skeletons are getting coated with Mn. first step to becoming fossils I suspect.
08/12/2015,20:04:39,randysinger,thanks for intro!
08/12/2015,20:04:41,Scott France,@Andrea: thanks for the link to Wing & Barnard. I agree, these look very much like Crypthelia trophostega

08/12/2015,20:05:19,Scott France,Of course, we should ignore the species ID, but close enough we can say this is a stylasterid hydrocoral

08/12/2015,20:07:48,Scott France,Polyps aligned on one side...
08/12/2015,20:07:49,leswatling,kind of a ratty looking bamboo
08/12/2015,20:08:18,Steve Auscavitch,skeleton looks really thick compared to others its size. current-related?
08/12/2015,20:08:26,Scott France,No terminal polyp...
08/12/2015,20:08:27,leswatling,shows how things move around in the current
08/12/2015,20:08:29,Steve Auscavitch,could be an illusion with the tissue
08/12/2015,20:08:45,Scott France,This looks like a pretty tall skeleton...
08/12/2015,20:09:13,Scott France,4 or 5 polyps across...
08/12/2015,20:10:40,Scott France,SQA in SPO
08/12/2015,20:10:44,leswatling,I gotta go for a bit. But I agree with scott's earlier comment about the current and size of the sponges. You would think the drag would be overwhelming.
08/12/2015,20:10:54,Scott France,Later Les
08/12/2015,20:10:59,leswatling,but maybe the current also accounts for the flutedness....
08/12/2015,20:11:10,Scott France,Looks like a nodal branching bamboo coral CORI
08/12/2015,20:11:34,Scott France,Isidella trichotoma in background…?
08/12/2015,20:11:53,Steve Auscavitch,ACN
08/12/2015,20:15:08,Scott France,Did not want to interrupt you, but on the CU of thta Isidella it was an interesting contrast to the whip coral just imaged: on the Isidella the branches ended with a terminal polyp, but not so on the whip. Another taxonomic character.

08/12/2015,21:09:44,Scott France,I wonder how much of this is local recruitment?
08/12/2015,21:10:40,Scott France,Doesn't have to be asexual - can be that the larvae produced settle very quickly in the local area
08/12/2015,21:11:30,okeanosexplorer,yes, it could be either one

08/12/2015,21:20:20,Amy Baco-Taylor,Thanks
08/12/2015,21:20:55,brucemundy,@Astrid = I can't comment about how common they are, because I don't know of estimates of abundace (I'll check Struhsaker's dissertation and my paper with Deetsie Chave). Records that I had for the checklist were from Lö‘ihi to Kaua‘i at 1828–2403 m (Gilbert, 1905; Prosser et al., 1975; Chave & Mundy, 1994). More in a moment.

08/12/2015,21:23:17,brucemundy,@Astrid - We listed Antimora as a rare species in our 1995 paper on deepwater fishes of Hawaii.  See the link at http://scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/handle/10125/2295
08/12/2015,21:23:25,Amy Baco-Taylor,Looks different from one yesterday

08/12/2015,22:16:30,Scott France,As you said Amy, only described from shallower depths: t: Four species of stylasterids are described from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (Kure to Kaua‘i) at depths of 293–583 m
08/12/2015,22:17:16,Scott France,Last sentence of Cairns (2005) intro: "one might expect stylasterids to occur throughout the archipelago, and when the deepwater environment is better known I expect that many more species will be reported."

08/12/2015,22:21:18,Scott France,Some commentaryu material for you from a Cairns review: "At least one stylasterid species has had some commercial value, the purple California hydrocoralStylaster californicus (Verrill, 1866), known from relatively shallow water (0–110 m) from San Francisco to Baja California. Starting in the early 1970's this species was collected and sold as curios for up to $150 and manufactured into jewelry, a necklace valued at up to $250 [67],http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3142106/#pone.0021670-Love1>, [73] <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3142106/#pone.0021670-Gibson1>. Because of overfishing, the state of California eventually established the Farnsworth Bank Ecological Reserve near Santa Catalina to protect this species. All stylasterids, as well as Millepora, were placed on the CITES Appendix II in 1990, which regulates the trade of these taxa across international borders. Stylaster californicus has a rather porous corallum, which is not amenable to cutting, carving, and polishing, in contrast to the skeletons of precious and black corals, but many other stylasterids do have a hard and colorful corallum quite similar to that of the precious coral Corallium, one even named for that virtue,Stylaster corallium Cairns, 1986"

08/12/2015,22:24:25,Scott France,So a range extension or, perhaps probable, not in the genus Crypthelia
08/12/2015,22:24:40,Scott France,I meant range extension for the genus

08/12/2015,22:27:11,Amy Baco-Taylor,How can you tell its Crypthelia?
08/12/2015,22:28:32,Scott France,I was looking at images in Wing & Barnard and reading about its depth range, etc. It was a genus Andrea suggested because we were familiar with it. I wouldn't hold to that ID
08/12/2015,22:28:55,Andrea Quattrini,are they going to collect it?
08/12/2015,22:28:56,tinamolodtsova,I would ask for zoom to be more sure, byt Crypthelia has very characteristic form of zooids
08/12/2015,22:29:13,Andrea Quattrini,yes, it appeared to have those tina
08/12/2015,22:29:27,Scott France,@Andrea: yes, when we see a better positioned or larger colony
08/12/2015,22:29:33,Andrea Quattrini,copy 
08/12/2015,22:30:00,Scott France,We haven't seen a clear image of the zooids yet, so just using calyx shape
08/12/2015,22:30:08,Scott France,and branch morphology
08/12/2015,22:30:13,Andrea Quattrini,right-yes, calyx shape

08/12/2015,22:33:47,Amy Baco-Taylor,Maybe we can rotate in claw after collect
08/12/2015,22:34:03,okeanosexplorer,we will after the collection
08/12/2015,22:34:05,Amy Baco-Taylor,There are a lot of stylasterids that look like coralliids
08/12/2015,22:34:40,Amy Baco-Taylor,So I won't make a bet yet
08/12/2015,22:34:51,Scott France,These calyces have an extension of the skeleton in a hook over the calyx - definitely stylasterid character

08/12/2015,22:52:32,Amy Baco-Taylor,One we saw on Pioneer in 03 would give this a run for its money in size.  It was a poliopogon type.  Big enough for sub to hide behind to get out of current
08/12/2015,22:54:05,Amy Baco-Taylor,Fair enough
