08/14/2015,00:04:51,Scott France,Telecon back after abou 10 min away
08/14/2015,00:06:49,okeanosexplorer,thanks
08/14/2015,00:14:08,okeanosexplorer,ASR - 
08/14/2015,00:17:57,iscwatch,We're receiving garbled pink and green artifacts on our hardware video decoders
08/14/2015,00:18:09,Scott France,Don't want to jinx things, but the audio from the video is trying to stutter to life…
08/14/2015,00:18:12,iscwatch,Nothing that's getting through our distribution servers
08/14/2015,00:19:24,Jonathan Tree,thanks for finding the angular sample probably sourced from those pillow flows up slope your'e mentioning, glad we found another sample for today
08/14/2015,00:26:40,Amy Baco-Taylor, come on video, you can do it!
08/14/2015,00:28:15,Scott France,Will good things come to those who wait?
08/14/2015,00:30:48,Scott France,The food input.  What is the temp?
08/14/2015,00:31:00,okeanosexplorer,1.5*c
08/14/2015,00:31:04,Scott France,Brrr
08/14/2015,00:41:44,Jonathan Tree,we have lost the conference call for the past little while, were you able to get the sample you guys were targeting a little while ago?
08/14/2015,00:42:08,okeanosexplorer,not yet, but finally made it down
08/14/2015,00:43:25,Scott France,I can see the video is trying to make a recovery, and I'm sure it will pop up in time for me to watch a rock collection… ;-)
08/14/2015,00:43:48,Asako K. Matsumoto,I also can see some progress about the video.
08/14/2015,00:44:04,Scott France,Not that I have anything against rocks...
08/14/2015,00:44:16,Jonathan Tree,thanks for the huge effort on getting these samples and logging all their information once you have them on board
08/14/2015,00:45:07,Jonathan Tree,yeah it is killing me watching the video trying to hard to come in while we are collecting
08/14/2015,00:46:15,Jonathan Tree,I saw rocks for a split second!
08/14/2015,00:47:43,Jonathan Tree,conference call has dropped out so I cannot hear you guys
08/14/2015,00:48:04,Jonathan Tree,conference call is back
08/14/2015,00:49:10,Scott France,My dare to the video feed didn't work. But I see a nice still of the rock field
08/14/2015,00:51:32,okeanosexplorer,collcted Mn-crusted basalt, SPEC04GEO, 2780m, -175.46152, 27.51903
08/14/2015,00:52:40,Jonathan Tree,I can just barely make out its shape on the video and it looks like a great sample, nice and agular with a large sample size that can be distributed to multiple parties for numerous analyses once processed at OSU. Great grab team!
08/14/2015,00:53:32,okeanosexplorer,the pilots are awesome!
08/14/2015,00:54:35,Jonathan Tree,yes they are, very impressed with the great job of collecting samples
08/14/2015,00:55:11,Scott France,Yes, that IS what will happen.
08/14/2015,01:00:02,Scott France,Could it be a LIthodes?
08/14/2015,01:00:06,Scott France,King crab?
08/14/2015,01:01:14,Scott France,Copy
08/14/2015,01:03:32,Scott France,How many pairs of legs visible?
08/14/2015,01:05:23,Scott France,I think I am going to go have my dinner early tonight since I still can't see anything. What is the estimated time for post-dive call? Before or after mid-water transects?

08/14/2015,01:18:23,iscwatch,Still lots of distortion but we have signal lock on I2 and I1
08/14/2015,01:18:55,Jonathan Tree,getting some video comming through, that is some really wierd glossy texture on the Mn crust, havent really seen that before, maybe due to the precipitation in the void cementing the two rocks together there and not on a rocks surface instead?

08/14/2015,01:56:04,kelleyelliott,Hi Mike - thanks for toughing it out with us! Is the feed trying to sputter to life in the ECC there? Or is it completely down?
08/14/2015,01:57:07,lizshea,Hi everyone - I'm keeping fingers crossed, too. Would love to see some squids tonight! Feed for me is completely down.
08/14/2015,01:58:19,Nick Pawlenko,We are getting about 10sec of useable video for every minute of frozen screen @UH ECC
08/14/2015,01:59:42,kelleyelliott,Thanks, Nick. Liz - are you on the science feed page?

08/14/2015,02:00:49,kelleyelliott,I'm just curious if the feeds are trying to sputter to life there as well
08/14/2015,02:01:02,lizshea,yes - I am on the full res
08/14/2015,02:01:28,lizshea,and it is trying desparately to sputter to life, but is more off than on
08/14/2015,02:02:53,ircecc,This is Bruce at IRC. We are also getting intermittent video.

08/14/2015,02:16:23,mikeford,on the bright side, D2 is working great and the EX is seeing clearly.  I propose we call midwater work on the ascent 'Hawaiian-style'
08/14/2015,02:16:31,lizshea,I'm getting more fluctuation - 4-6 seconds on then 4-6 seconds stopped. intermittent audio

08/14/2015,02:37:46,mikeford,nice CTE
08/14/2015,02:38:03,lizshea,beautiful!
08/14/2015,02:41:47,mikeford,Could place that CTE in Order Cydippida, but that's not saying too much.  Didn't seem like Boroidae and no obvious lobes
08/14/2015,02:42:34,mikeford,If possible to use lasers for targets
08/14/2015,02:42:47,ircecc,Video was too broken up to get a good look at the last thing
08/14/2015,02:42:54,lizshea,did a FSH just pass by? pixellated
08/14/2015,02:43:24,okeanosexplorer,no fish seen

08/14/2015,19:57:22,Scott France,I'm going to go with Keratoisis D clade (which includes Eknomisis, so genus may be off)
08/14/2015,19:59:27,Jonathan Tree,I think that some of the larger pillows look to be in place but highly eroded which might be the source of the talus in between these larger features
08/14/2015,20:00:10,Jonathan Tree,definately heavy Mn coating suggesting an older (non-hawaiian) age for this seamount

08/14/2015,20:01:28,ircecc,Allen Andrews here - Just a note to ask for a thick branch from a bamboo colony, if the opportunity presents itself. Previous work was with lead-210 dating (limited to 120 year longevity).  I would like to try radiocarbon dating to get at maximum age.  If possible.  Thanks for  the consideration.

08/14/2015,20:04:36,michaelparke,As Les and I were speculating a few days ago, most of these animals probably have sporadic and episodic reproductive/recruitment events. It would be very interesting if we could somehow date the oldest speciments to know if there were particular oceanographic signals that would help explain the recruitment.
08/14/2015,20:04:59,brucemundy,Macrouridae. Same round-nosed species that we've seen before.

08/14/2015,20:05:23,brucemundy,We have vistors at the IRC ECC, so I can't give a better guess now.
08/14/2015,20:08:22,Amy Baco-Taylor,An alternative hypothesis would be that there was a single, large-scale recruitment event at this site.  If there were repeated recruitment from local sources, you might expect to see alot more smaller colonies, in general those are absent at most sites
08/14/2015,20:09:47,Scott France,I agree with the possibility of that alternate hypothesis, but there are smaller colonies here… Not all the same size.
08/14/2015,20:10:07,Scott France,Great view/perspective
08/14/2015,20:10:16,Amy Baco-Taylor,I missed those.  But at many other sites, you generally only see large colonies with no evidence or more recent rcruitment
08/14/2015,20:10:22,Scott France,Yup
08/14/2015,20:10:23,Amy Baco-Taylor,of more
08/14/2015,20:11:15,Scott France,We need a proposal to come back to a few of these densely populated sites so that we could sample from many colonies to assess individual relatedness.
08/14/2015,20:11:56,okeanosexplorer,Absolutely! 
08/14/2015,20:12:52,Amy Baco-Taylor,Can you tell if these are all the same species
08/14/2015,20:12:56,Scott France,Did you guys estimate the height of the tallest colonies?
08/14/2015,20:13:07,okeanosexplorer,most of them are the same species
08/14/2015,20:13:33,Scott France,@Amy: most of them look the same to me, but of course that is tough to call from this view
08/14/2015,20:14:40,Amy Baco-Taylor,that would be a good sample actually for allen and geo
08/14/2015,20:15:08,Scott France,Good point Amy!
08/14/2015,20:15:14,asakomatsumoto,These colonies maybe not same age. It should take long time to become such a large communities.

08/14/2015,20:16:00,Scott France,@Asako: Yes, as Chris suggested, there may be a climax community, and maybe an upper size limit to colonies here…
08/14/2015,20:16:19,Amy Baco-Taylor,Try to get one with a dead base on it
08/14/2015,20:16:22,Amy Baco-Taylor,for the agers
08/14/2015,20:16:50,Scott France,FYI, there is a small colony in front of large one on right
08/14/2015,20:17:20,Scott France,More tumbled over colonies on left
08/14/2015,20:17:27,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: Yes indeed. I had some shallow water growth results of gorgonians and it suggest that there is some size limitation for the colonies.
08/14/2015,20:17:42,Scott France,@Asako: Excellent! 
08/14/2015,20:17:55,Scott France,Great to know that some data has been collected on that
08/14/2015,20:18:03,Amy Baco-Taylor,Sorry I meant a rock with a base rather than a branch
08/14/2015,20:18:16,Amy Baco-Taylor,But ok if you want to sample live coral too
08/14/2015,20:18:28,Brendan Roark,even a dead base will work
08/14/2015,20:19:06,Scott France,Yesterday the dead sponge base did not count against biology collection. Would same be true of dead coral stalk on rock?
08/14/2015,20:19:13,Amy Baco-Taylor,I think there are 2 isidids, there seems to be a bushier/more robust one that is less common
08/14/2015,20:19:22,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: current, food, damage and reproduction affects the growth rate and maximum size for these corals.
08/14/2015,20:20:01,Scott France,@Asako: Yes. Why it is so hard to offer explanation without lots of additional data collection!
08/14/2015,20:20:20,okeanosexplorer,let's write that proposal
08/14/2015,20:20:22,Scott France,Interesting morphology to this rock

08/14/2015,20:21:28,Jonathan Tree,the jointing that has taken place in these lavas flows has been really entertaining to try to grab some screen grabs of
08/14/2015,20:21:57,Scott France,@Jonathan: haha - same fun with getting polyp close-ups!
08/14/2015,20:22:39,J.R. Smith,I'd actually like a wider shot to get some better context.
08/14/2015,20:22:45,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: and it also need longterm observation.
08/14/2015,20:23:01,Amy Baco-Taylor,THat was related to suggestion of collecting rock with daed coral base on it
08/14/2015,20:23:10,Scott France,@Asako: indeed - longer than your average NSF grant!
08/14/2015,20:23:44,okeanosexplorer,got it amy, but we don't see  any loose rocks with coral on it 
08/14/2015,20:24:10,Amy Baco-Taylor,roger, just couldn't tell if you caught that part :)
08/14/2015,20:24:25,Scott France,If I can offer this suggestion: we have seen several corals or coral bases TIPPED over. More likely those rocks are loose, unless cemented post death
08/14/2015,20:24:39,Brendan Roark,would a dead base count against your biology collection count?

08/14/2015,20:30:19,Brendan Roark,I don't think it is worth one of your two bio samples for a dead base
08/14/2015,20:30:25,Scott France,What were the red branches sticking out from behind the rock when camera was looking forward?
08/14/2015,20:30:40,okeanosexplorer,got it brendan, thanks
08/14/2015,20:31:19,Scott France,re: Dead base - my proposal for collecting was only if it were attached to the geological sample, not as an independent collection. But just my opinion.
08/14/2015,20:32:55,Scott France,Ah, red thing was a large Anthomastus
08/14/2015,20:33:15,ircecc,Allen Andrews: Dead base is less valuable since we don't know when it died.  At least in terms of age determination.  
08/14/2015,20:33:34,Brendan Roark,@scott two for one sampling is always a good plan but I knew what you meant, just didn't want them wasting valuable time
08/14/2015,20:33:56,Scott France,@Brendan: I knew you knew. My comment was directed elsewhere! :-)

08/14/2015,20:57:47,leswatling,no, I think this is an anemone. Corallimorphs have white tentacle tips
08/14/2015,20:58:13,leswatling,whats with the weird small tentacles on one quadrant?
08/14/2015,20:58:33,Jonathan Tree,heavily cemented Mn coating over intact PIL and COB TAL
08/14/2015,20:58:58,Scott France,@Les: could it be that someone took a bite from that side of the polyp?
08/14/2015,20:59:03,okeanosexplorer,sorry scott, he keeps throwing state in there
08/14/2015,20:59:04,Scott France,and that is regrowth?
08/14/2015,20:59:18,Scott France,haha! Didn't even notice that time!
08/14/2015,20:59:21,leswatling,I think thats as good a guess any
08/14/2015,20:59:32,Scott France,I'm full o' guesses!
08/14/2015,20:59:49,leswatling,nice forest of bamboos....
08/14/2015,21:00:13,Jonathan Tree,more TAL
08/14/2015,21:00:32,leswatling,screen keeps freezing... but hey, we have video today....
08/14/2015,21:04:11,Scott France,Name for this ridge: Keratoisis Nahele (as near as I can tell Hawaiian for grove of forest)
08/14/2015,21:04:37,Jonathan Tree,looks kind of like a broken apart SHE flow 
08/14/2015,21:05:10,okexnav,LAT :27.85389, LON : -175.16521, DEPTH :2219.1765m, TEMP :  1.83544C, SAL : 34.63228 PSU, DO :  2.95254 mg/L
08/14/2015,21:05:23,Jonathan Tree,LIG sed over
08/14/2015,21:05:41,leswatling,thats good, but I think the words are in the wrong oder. At least that what I gleaned from the Hawaiians who criticized my translation of yellow bamboo. They said it would be more appropriate to say bamboo yellow.
08/14/2015,21:06:43,Scott France,@Les: I wondered about that. I don't know Hawaiian syntax. Sounds more like French.
08/14/2015,21:07:12,Scott France,I like Nahele Keratoisis better anyway!
08/14/2015,21:07:24,leswatling,Agree!
08/14/2015,21:08:13,Jonathan Tree,LIG POC
08/14/2015,21:08:25,Scott France,Polyps on this CORI whip are taller than on fan
08/14/2015,21:08:35,Scott France,and there is a terminal polyp
08/14/2015,21:08:45,leswatling,Aaaarrrrgh, my screen freezes every 30 seconds.... 
08/14/2015,21:09:09,okeanosexplorer,CORI - Unbranched
08/14/2015,21:10:07,Scott France,Good stuff! Thanks
08/14/2015,21:10:15,okeanosexplorer,Lepidisis?
08/14/2015,21:10:19,Scott France,We'll call that one Lepidisis for now.
08/14/2015,21:10:52,leswatling,But I missed most of it due to screen freeze.... 
08/14/2015,21:11:04,okeanosexplorer,FSH
08/14/2015,21:11:40,brucemundy,Macrouridae, same round-nosed species (slash)
08/14/2015,21:11:49,okeanosexplorer,thanks bruce
08/14/2015,21:12:07,brucemundy,Malacocephalus or Trachonurus? We have to figure this out. Any suggestions from others?
08/14/2015,21:13:51,okeanosexplorer,FSH
08/14/2015,21:14:07,brucemundy,Another rattail or grenadier. Same type?

08/14/2015,21:15:14,okeanosexplorer,looked like it
08/14/2015,21:16:40,Scott France,Couldn't tell if that large colony just passed was the same as all these other bamboo fans, or was a little different…
08/14/2015,21:16:43,okeanosexplorer,FSH
08/14/2015,21:16:44,Scott France,Looked yellower
08/14/2015,21:17:12,brucemundy,Another macrourid. Looks the same as the others.
08/14/2015,21:18:08,Scott France,Still consistently high abundance of these isidid fans. Quite remarkable.
08/14/2015,21:18:22,okeanosexplorer,SHI
08/14/2015,21:18:48,Scott France,SHI Aristopenaeus like?
08/14/2015,21:21:10,Jonathan Tree,we might be on an actual vent for the flows that we just traversed
08/14/2015,21:21:18,Scott France,Just like Sponge-zilla we saw the other day, the largest coral is the one perched at the edge of the corner
08/14/2015,21:23:56,Scott France,Nice CORC Corallium colonies
08/14/2015,21:24:00,Scott France,with ACN
08/14/2015,21:25:13,brucemundy,Our IRC visitors have finished their tour here. You got applause at the end as the got up to leave. You are stars. Congratulations.

08/14/2015,21:26:29,Scott France,If we do now transition away from the Keratoisis fans as we get shallower, then I revise my earlier proposed name for that site to Hohonu Nahele (or Nahele Hohonu)
08/14/2015,21:27:04,Scott France,CORCH Chrysogorgia
08/14/2015,21:27:54,Scott France,Another CORI Lepidisis
08/14/2015,21:28:35,Scott France,Note all the white dots on the wall
08/14/2015,21:28:48,Scott France,small SPO or BAR?
08/14/2015,21:29:33,Scott France,I know I need to stop being surprised by the density and the size of the colonies, but… WOW!
08/14/2015,21:30:14,leswatling,If the Emperors are like this, then that explains why the Taiwanese etc have a tangle net fishery for the bamboos.
08/14/2015,21:31:08,leswatling,for those who don't know, the bamboos are sliced up and then dyed red to resemble the corallium
08/14/2015,21:31:14,Scott France,Munnid SQA
08/14/2015,21:31:19,Scott France,on rock

08/14/2015,21:39:34,Scott France,CORI Lepidisis
08/14/2015,21:40:01,michaelparke,With all these potential hosts, why no golds? 
08/14/2015,21:40:12,Scott France,Too deep for golds?
08/14/2015,21:41:07,Scott France,Note: I know that seastars do not have lips. ;-)
08/14/2015,21:41:16,Scott France,Or tongues with which to lick them.
08/14/2015,21:42:17,Scott France,That seastar makes me think of one of the kids in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. So much candy… can't possibly eat more.
08/14/2015,21:42:21,michaelparke,Do we know a bottom limit, Scott?
08/14/2015,21:42:37,Scott France,@Michael: let me check?
08/14/2015,21:43:03,Scott France,See what Les has to say, but I'd say we couldn't know without a collection.
08/14/2015,21:43:17,Scott France,And it is obvioously the dominant on this ridge so would be good to know
08/14/2015,21:44:29,Brendan Roark,I'd think a collection is worth it to get a good ID
08/14/2015,21:44:35,leswatling,I suspect this is a new species of Keratoisis or some relative so it would be good to collect a piece if possible. 
08/14/2015,21:44:55,Scott France,I see consensus here to collect.
08/14/2015,21:44:56,leswatling,It is so dominant that we should know what it is.
08/14/2015,21:45:13,okexnav,LAT :27.85474, LON : -175.16723, DEPTH :2147.3288m, TEMP :  1.88590C, SAL : 34.62626 PSU, DO :  2.83906 mg/L
08/14/2015,21:45:45,Scott France,Then we could get a more specific name for Nahele Hohonu...
08/14/2015,21:45:49,leswatling,The Keratoisis clade is a muddle of what are probably recently diverged species, and there are plenty all over the world, so knowing this one would be be very helpful.
08/14/2015,21:45:52,okeanosexplorer,THANKS EVERYONE
08/14/2015,21:46:10,Scott France,Great!
08/14/2015,21:46:33,Scott France,[thta was a response to Daniel's "entire dive will be like this"]
08/14/2015,21:46:39,asakomatsumoto,I ve never seen such a large community of Bamboo corals in Japanese waters. very impressive and hope to know the species.
08/14/2015,21:46:41,brucemundy,FSH
08/14/2015,21:46:44,brucemundy,Macrouridae
08/14/2015,21:46:57,Scott France,Glad you agree Asako
08/14/2015,21:47:08,okeanosexplorer,slash or no slash?
08/14/2015,21:48:00,brucemundy,same species that we've seen repeatedly on the dive? Maybe I'm too quick to write that. Are Astrid, Andrea, or fish people also on line?
08/14/2015,21:48:14,Brendan Roark,just noting there was a nice dead branch in the background :)
08/14/2015,21:48:34,brucemundy,This one has a snout that looks a little different from the others that we've seen on this dive.
08/14/2015,21:50:44,leswatling,make sure you collecto one that is typical ;-) hahaha.....
08/14/2015,21:50:57,okeanosexplorer,we will, les
08/14/2015,21:51:41,Scott France,I'm sure we'll have helpful opinions for you on the collection! ;-)
08/14/2015,21:52:21,Scott France,This colony looks like a good choice

08/14/2015,21:52:36,okeanosexplorer,roger that, scott
08/14/2015,21:52:51,Scott France,For a short dive, we sure hit the right bottom target!
08/14/2015,21:53:08,tinamolodtsova,it is not fair
08/14/2015,21:53:22,tinamolodtsova,tell me, what they collected yesterday?
08/14/2015,21:54:47,leswatling,do you have a frame grab of the collected coral from yesterday?
08/14/2015,21:54:48,mackenziegarringer,@Bruce: I'm not sure it's the same species as the other. The snout almost makes me think something more like Hymenocephalus, but we're deep for that, aren't we? Did you have a guess?
08/14/2015,21:55:06,tinamolodtsova,Thank you Chris)

08/14/2015,21:56:50,Scott France,Be sure the branch you get has polyps!
08/14/2015,21:57:05,tinamolodtsova,yes!
08/14/2015,21:57:15,Scott France,That looks like a big piece!
08/14/2015,21:57:16,tinamolodtsova,take lower branch!!
08/14/2015,21:57:40,Scott France,Go further out on branch
08/14/2015,21:58:08,Scott France,Skeleton should break easily
08/14/2015,21:58:23,Scott France,Ah - delayed video!
08/14/2015,21:58:26,tinamolodtsova,yes// I hate this with bamboo
08/14/2015,22:00:06,tinamolodtsova,once I tried to find out how looked the specimen from ECOMAR when alive. I had 20 minutes of horror movie of bamboo trimming... and than it appeared to be a tiny specimen nearby.. 
08/14/2015,22:01:08,asakomatsumoto,I can imagine Tina. I also saw such videos of Japanese ROV's.
08/14/2015,22:01:10,Scott France,The Anthomastus here look somewhat different color from typical red we have seen on previous dives
08/14/2015,22:02:30,Scott France,Sometimes you gotta be lucky!
08/14/2015,22:02:42,Scott France,Fell in just the right spot!
08/14/2015,22:03:04,leswatling,this shows how long those branches really are!

08/14/2015,22:10:36,tinamolodtsova,may be Anthomastus is sitting at the good rock?
08/14/2015,22:11:26,Scott France,haha Tina. So hopeful!
08/14/2015,22:11:51,tinamolodtsova,just a bit of hope...
08/14/2015,22:12:09,leswatling,yes, but is it an anthomastus with no sclerites or not?
08/14/2015,22:12:51,Scott France,Can MacKenzie and I use the deck crane to get these rocks to wet lab?
08/14/2015,22:13:10,tinamolodtsova,I have seen three to four species of Anthomastus in collection. none is steenstrupi

08/14/2015,22:19:26,Scott France,please
08/14/2015,22:19:30,tinamolodtsova,From this view looks like Anthomastus. They are always feeding like that?
08/14/2015,22:20:00,Scott France,Thought it might be different from others...
08/14/2015,22:20:06,Scott France,Nodal branching?
08/14/2015,22:20:28,tinamolodtsova,it is better to look at sclerites to be 100% sure
08/14/2015,22:21:15,Scott France,Bummer of a time to lose video!
08/14/2015,22:21:44,tinamolodtsova,yes. Scott
08/14/2015,22:22:10,leswatling,both video and audio are having drop outs.... can you linger on this a bit more?
08/14/2015,22:22:46,okeanosexplorer,cori - jasonisis
08/14/2015,22:22:58,Scott France,CORI fan Isidella or Jasonisis like

08/14/2015,22:23:32,Scott France,Got a few screen shots in there Les - will send to you
08/14/2015,22:23:46,leswatling,I still don't have a view that is in focus.... drat!
08/14/2015,22:23:59,tinamolodtsova,I have a kind of... MoMA picture...
08/14/2015,22:24:17,Scott France,Feedback for Kelley: for most of day video/audio has bene quiet good, but in last 10 min or so has been lots of freezing

08/14/2015,22:25:16,leswatling,anyway, the overall color was sort of Orstomisis like. 
08/14/2015,22:25:21,tinamolodtsova,sorry Daniel we hardly can see anything
08/14/2015,22:25:34,Scott France,Cool if it were Orstomisis!
08/14/2015,22:25:42,Scott France,Will get shots to you shortly.
08/14/2015,22:27:13,tinamolodtsova,nice ASR for Chris Mah
08/14/2015,22:27:22,Scott France,Video freeze with pixelation but on the ASR
08/14/2015,22:27:33,Scott France,Oh cool!
08/14/2015,22:27:39,tinamolodtsova,wow. nice surface..

08/14/2015,22:28:17,asakomatsumoto,beautiful
08/14/2015,22:28:21,Scott France,Looks like sponge fingers sticking off the back of the ASR
08/14/2015,22:30:16,tinamolodtsova,may be collect it?
08/14/2015,22:30:48,tinamolodtsova,if Chris cannot recognize it..
08/14/2015,22:30:56,Scott France,Yes, I support collection it if possible.
08/14/2015,22:31:09,Scott France,with sponge
08/14/2015,22:31:10,tinamolodtsova,but in other box than CORI!
08/14/2015,22:31:37,tinamolodtsova,definitely with a piece of sponge
08/14/2015,22:31:49,tinamolodtsova,SHI at SPO
08/14/2015,22:32:20,Scott France,Pythonaster
08/14/2015,22:34:45,tinamolodtsova,Chris Mah definitely needed at least one star collected

08/14/2015,22:35:21,tinamolodtsova,try to get a piece of sponge as well
08/14/2015,22:36:53,asakomatsumoto,I could not see whole sponge view because of image problem. I want to see it before cutting.
08/14/2015,22:38:29,Scott France,I agree - a good use of the time to do such a collection.

08/14/2015,23:05:58,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: at least one of the colony looks branching perpendicular from the same base. maybe you are right.
08/14/2015,23:07:21,tinamolodtsova,more Anthomastus
08/14/2015,23:08:10,tinamolodtsova,if there is Anthomastus without zooids on the top it would be interesting

08/14/2015,23:14:14,Jonathan Tree,It would seem to me that it is not the hardness of the substrate that is correlated with density of the coral beds as much as it is the substrates grain size. (i.e. gravel-pebble = low desnisty; cobble-boulder=high densitry)
08/14/2015,23:14:42,okeanosexplorer,agreed jon, particularly the stability of the substrate

08/14/2015,23:16:17,Jonathan Tree,im not so sure, that area we just left looked like hard pan cemented gravel-pebble, most likely stable, but obviously not suitable. plus stabily is hard to evaluate on tehse time scales. probably can be correlated with grain size of substrate and surface slope relationships
08/14/2015,23:16:59,brucemundy,Yes, it looks like the Malacocephalus or Trachonurus. These are all beginning to look alike to me. I'll try to work on this with MacKenzie and others.
08/14/2015,23:17:00,Scott France,@Jonathon: I agree with your observation of the grain size vs. coral, however, for most of these corals they do also require the hard substrate...
08/14/2015,23:17:25,tinamolodtsova,no seapens sofar
08/14/2015,23:17:41,Scott France,There are some that can anchor in soft bottom either by an inflatable peduncle or the hard holdfast growing as a root-like structure
08/14/2015,23:18:39,tinamolodtsova,nica CORO Anthomastus at a small sone...
08/14/2015,23:19:00,Jonathan Tree,do they prefer lesser sedimentation? because that Mn-hardpan woud definately be "hard"
08/14/2015,23:19:12,michaelparke,But from where do these deep water animals originate?
08/14/2015,23:20:00,Scott France,Balance of sedimentation… too much and the recruits get buried, not enough and there likely isn't enough food…
08/14/2015,23:20:16,Scott France,We have definitely seen them growing on flat Mn crust
08/14/2015,23:20:28,Scott France,Species composition may differ, of course...
08/14/2015,23:20:51,Scott France,@Michael: do you mean evolutionarily or in terms of the recent recruitment?
08/14/2015,23:21:01,Jonathan Tree,ah, makes sense, there are some complex and interesting geological-geographical-biological interface detrmining these density distributions
08/14/2015,23:21:12,Scott France,Agree Jonathon

08/14/2015,23:22:39,leswatling,that coral has more of a central axis and I notice its a light brown
08/14/2015,23:23:06,leswatling,I think that might be an Orstomisis but we need to know if its a nodal branching form
08/14/2015,23:24:48,asakomatsumoto,At the scuba diving depth, non-reefcorals inhabit in strong water current and sometimes hard to stay the area.
