08/18/2015,00:00:38,Scott, Couldn't tell from this distance if that was Radicipes or bamboo
08/18/2015,00:00:47,leswatling,I should point out that the Asteroschema is not a basket star. It is in a family seprate from the Gorgonocephalidae, which is the basket stars. Both asteroschematids and gorgonocephalids are in the superfamily Euryalidae, so they are related but are not the same.
08/18/2015,00:01:06,Amy, CORPA
08/18/2015,00:01:11,okeanosexplorer,got it, thanks les
08/18/2015,00:01:42,brucemundy,Nematocarcinus? SHI
08/18/2015,00:01:44,tinamolodtsova,so basket-ish star?
08/18/2015,00:01:49,Amy, Tom Shirley calls them "unbranched basket stars"
08/18/2015,00:01:53,tinamolodtsova,all polyps closed
08/18/2015,00:02:46,Amy, That one that looks like arborea again
08/18/2015,00:02:48,Amy, collect?
08/18/2015,00:03:21,Amy, arborea is not recorded from Hawaii
08/18/2015,00:03:38,tinamolodtsova,SPO
08/18/2015,00:03:44,tinamolodtsova,CRI at SPO
08/18/2015,00:03:46,Scott, I would rather see a collection of the Radicipes given the apparent rarity that Chris suggested for it.
08/18/2015,00:04:19,okeanosexplorer,SHI - Nematocarcinus
08/18/2015,00:04:21,tinamolodtsova,Radicipes will be good
08/18/2015,00:04:49,tinamolodtsova,ISO at SPO
08/18/2015,00:05:02,leswatling,the asteroschematids were in the gorgoncephalidae a long time ago, but have been in separate faimies for about a century now. The euryalids are a superfamily that unites the two because of their ability to move thier arms in all directions.
08/18/2015,00:05:23,tinamolodtsova,HYD at SPO
08/18/2015,00:05:24,leswatling,and probably because the gonads are in the arms rather than in the disk
08/18/2015,00:05:54,tinamolodtsova,it is strange, they have huge disks
08/18/2015,00:06:59,Scott, Yup, CORI whip
08/18/2015,00:07:03,tinamolodtsova,somebody already collected it
08/18/2015,00:07:07,leswatling,Radicipes usually has the terminal part more horizontal
08/18/2015,00:07:29,tinamolodtsova,nice spines between tentacles
08/18/2015,00:08:06,tinamolodtsova,it was SQA?
08/18/2015,00:08:12,Scott, @Les: presumably a function of its thinner skeleton
08/18/2015,00:08:19,leswatling,need to see the length of the internodes
08/18/2015,00:10:20,leswatling,only Metallogorgia turned out to be hermaphroditic
08/18/2015,00:10:35,leswatling,but not very commonly
08/18/2015,00:10:39,tinamolodtsova,in the same zooids?
08/18/2015,00:10:47,leswatling,no
08/18/2015,00:11:03,tinamolodtsova,and the have different color?

08/18/2015,00:11:50,leswatling,sorry Tina, I answered too fast.... I think they were in the same polyp
08/18/2015,00:12:23,tinamolodtsova,interesting.. who did it?
08/18/2015,00:12:43,leswatling,yeah Chris, Anne's work is not yet published.
08/18/2015,00:13:21,leswatling,Tina, it was my student Anne Simpson. She looked at about 14 species from different familes
08/18/2015,00:13:47,leswatling,this rock looks like a nasty monster
08/18/2015,00:14:10,tinamolodtsova,CORC
08/18/2015,00:14:26,Scott, From Beazley's thesis: "Acanella arbuscula is gonochoristic at both the polyp and colony level, which is the dominant pattern of sexuality in members of the Octocorallia"
08/18/2015,00:14:57,leswatling,I think that is correct from what we have seen
08/18/2015,00:15:13,Scott, To continue: "Lawson (1991) also reported separate male and female colonies of A. arbuscula from Station „M‟ in the Rockall Trough, Northeast Atlantic "
08/18/2015,00:15:54,leswatling,what are the light colored dots on the rock?
08/18/2015,00:16:20,tinamolodtsova,CORA Umbellapathes?
08/18/2015,00:16:48,okeanosexplorer,can't tell from this distance, could be metallogorgia

08/18/2015,00:22:26,Scott, Neolithodid crab
08/18/2015,00:22:38,Esprit, Looks like there are two scale worms
08/18/2015,00:23:42,leswatling,could be a juvenile

08/18/2015,00:29:24,Scott, sorry Pleurocorallium
08/18/2015,00:30:07,brucemundy,The identity of that ophidiid is not obvious to me. It had distinct pelvic fin rays, which eliminates some possibilities. It was deep-bodied with a rounded head, which eliminates others. It looked a little like a Pycnocraspedum armatum, but seemed too dark. This was at the lower end of the reported depth range for Pycnocraspedum, so perhaps they are darker deeper. There is one report of an unidentified Monomitopus species from the Hawaiian Islands, which would be another possibility, but not other information about that is available. There don't seem to be other possible identifications, from what I have. Maybe other fish-folk have ideas.

08/18/2015,00:35:00,Scott, Following up on Radicipes… There are about 7 species known in genus. One was described  in 1912 by Nutting from Albatross material, collected at about 240 m "between Maui and Molokai"
08/18/2015,00:35:09,okexnav,LAT :25.64512, LON : -168.84487, DEPTH :1433.9835m, TEMP :  2.71200C, SAL : 34.55517 PSU, DO :  2.06282 mg/L
08/18/2015,00:35:23,Scott, As near as I can tell, no other records of Radicipes in the central Pacific
08/18/2015,00:39:53,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: I'm afraid to say that Nutting's identification is usually need to re-check material. so many misidentification.
08/18/2015,00:40:56,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: I really suffered from Nutting's record in 1912 Albatross.
08/18/2015,00:41:16,Scott, @Tina: fair enough, but I don't think he mistook thta it was a Radicipes (well, he called it Leipogorgia at the time)
08/18/2015,00:41:30,Scott, Sorry, I meant @Asako!
08/18/2015,00:41:50,Scott, His description sounds like the typical Radicipes
08/18/2015,00:42:08,asakomatsumoto,I though you are talking to me! Scott :)
08/18/2015,00:42:40,brucemundy,SHI
08/18/2015,00:43:33,leswatling,Agree with Asako re Nutting, at least in general. I don't have an image of the Radicipes so don't know what he had, but I suspect that would be a hard one to get wrong.
08/18/2015,00:43:46,Scott, Sounds like a good plan Chris.
08/18/2015,00:43:58,Scott, Circle the block and then determine based on remaining time
08/18/2015,00:44:06,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: could be. but at least we need check type materials when we use taxonomical information from Nutting.
08/18/2015,00:44:17,okeanosexplorer,Munidopsis
08/18/2015,00:44:25,okeanosexplorer,roger that scott, that is the plan

08/18/2015,00:45:23,Amy, I was off for a bit, have we seen something that we know is Radicipes then this dive?
08/18/2015,00:45:55,Scott, #Asako: my point about Nutting's Radicipes is that a collection has been made in Hawaiian waters of a Radicipes, albeit from shallower depths.
08/18/2015,00:45:59,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: :)
08/18/2015,00:46:55,brucemundy,SQA

08/18/2015,00:56:58,leswatling,we have this one from 2007
08/18/2015,00:57:30,leswatling,yep
08/18/2015,00:57:38,Scott, Whoa!!
08/18/2015,00:57:45,okeanosexplorer,genus?
08/18/2015,00:57:47,leswatling,unusal in that it has yellow tissue
08/18/2015,00:58:16,leswatling,this will be a new genus
08/18/2015,00:59:11,asakomatsumoto,enough number of specimen for the description.
08/18/2015,00:59:27,leswatling,I don't have my cladogram handy but I thknk this is the same as pr-689-3 Scott if you want to look it up

08/18/2015,01:00:42,Scott, I don't have an in situ photo of that specimen
08/18/2015,01:01:10,brucemundy,The Cyclothone is one of the species that is darkly pigmented with translucent areas in the body.The strongest possibilities seem to be Cyclothone pallida or C. acclinidens, among the species reported in the Hawaiian Islands. Other species are more pale or more uniformly dark.
08/18/2015,01:01:19,leswatling,I'll have to get you one Scott
08/18/2015,01:01:38,Scott, So it is a "Keratoisis" clade B1 for now, but that name will change in near future
08/18/2015,01:01:57,leswatling,that colony jas such a tangle of branches coming out at all angles

08/18/2015,01:05:42,Scott, This is Hawaii of millions of years ago!
08/18/2015,01:05:52,Scott, Plus perhaps erosion of channels increased size 
08/18/2015,01:06:00,okeanosexplorer,good point
08/18/2015,01:06:03,leswatling,that would be pretty interesting
08/18/2015,01:06:07,Scott, Yes we can hear telecon
08/18/2015,01:06:47,Nicole, Are these the white stylasterids or corallids?
08/18/2015,01:07:55,okeanosexplorer,they are Pleurocorallium kishinouyei
08/18/2015,01:08:41,Nicole, Thanks! Some of the branching looked more like prev. STY, I must have missed earlier zoom

08/18/2015,01:09:09,Roland, is conference call loud enough now?
08/18/2015,01:09:20,J.R., I was going to suggest erosive channels, or at least accentuating the pre-existing morphology as Scott did, but have to see more of it.
08/18/2015,01:09:36,Scott, I can hear telecon fine.

08/18/2015,01:21:47,Scott, Copy that
08/18/2015,01:22:54,Scott, At beginning of dive Dave C. said we'd encounter more reef built by coral rather than algae, and that they erode more slowly

08/18/2015,01:34:41,leswatling,this is probably an Eknomisis
08/18/2015,01:34:41,Scott, Volcano polyps!
08/18/2015,01:34:45,Scott, Eknomisis

08/18/2015,01:35:13,Scott, Interesting all these polyps are retracted...
08/18/2015,01:35:33,leswatling,could take a side branch from this... would be very useful
08/18/2015,01:35:35,tinamolodtsova,there are couple that not
08/18/2015,01:36:13,brucemundy,SQA
08/18/2015,01:36:27,brucemundy,Pretty, brick-red with blue spots on the back
08/18/2015,01:36:32,tinamolodtsova,@Les, 'branchlet' you would like to say?
08/18/2015,01:36:33,leswatling,yeah Tina, depends on the degree of contraction
08/18/2015,01:36:43,tinamolodtsova,Ok/ we can take it
08/18/2015,01:36:48,Amy, better to ocllect than leave an epty biobox
08/18/2015,01:36:52,Amy, collect
08/18/2015,01:36:55,Amy, empty
08/18/2015,01:36:57,leswatling,not collected from Hawaii that I know of
08/18/2015,01:37:16,Scott, Itr resembles one from Atlantic but color is completely different
08/18/2015,01:37:17,tinamolodtsova,this one will be used
08/18/2015,01:37:24,brucemundy,GAS
08/18/2015,01:37:25,Scott, GAS
08/18/2015,01:38:03,leswatling,the side branches are good, get one junction if possible
08/18/2015,01:38:45,Scott, Has arc-ing branches like Jasonisis (but isn't Jasonisis)
08/18/2015,01:39:11,Scott, Lowest branch on right side
08/18/2015,01:39:25,Scott, Collect just ahead of one branch
08/18/2015,01:40:33,Amy, slimey night ahead!
08/18/2015,01:40:45,tinamolodtsova,just a little more!
08/18/2015,01:41:07,tinamolodtsova,they need joint
08/18/2015,01:44:24,Scott, So, to your question of has this been collected before. The problem is we very rarely get such great images of these corals, so it becomes difficult to match what is in the lab vs what we see here in situ. So these kinds of samples allow us to match the collection with all these HD images. So NEXT time we do one of these cruises, we'll be able to tell you what it is!

08/18/2015,01:45:11,asakomatsumoto,I saw something long twisted spirals over there.
08/18/2015,01:45:26,Scott, Great dive! Thanks all
08/18/2015,01:45:30,tinamolodtsova,we may have a piece of this species...  or very close
08/18/2015,01:45:46,tinamolodtsova,thaks for pilots
08/18/2015,01:46:51,leswatling,another good one... and differnt again!
08/18/2015,01:47:27,asakomatsumoto,excellent dive. Thank you for everyone, pilots, all crew and staffs.
08/18/2015,01:49:47,asakomatsumoto,@Tina: where you have a piece? in your institute? or at Smithonian?
08/18/2015,01:51:49,tinamolodtsova,in Shirhsov
08/18/2015,01:52:42,asakomatsumoto,thanks Tina. You should check when you back :)
08/18/2015,01:54:45,asakomatsumoto,see you
08/18/2015,01:57:41,brucemundy,We've lost the Telecon at IRC
08/18/2015,01:58:13,brucemundy,Chris - we no longer hear you shoreside
08/18/2015,01:58:21,Scott, Telecon line has been dropped
08/18/2015,01:58:50,J.R., Now the audio on video feed went away.
08/18/2015,02:00:31,brucemundy,My only vote for tomorrow's dive is to do some midwater transects after the main dive, if time allows. Otherwise, fish are unpredictable and fickle, so I'm just along for the ride.
08/18/2015,02:01:26,okeanosexplorer,can you guys hear us?
08/18/2015,02:01:32,brucemundy,No.
08/18/2015,02:01:34,okeanosexplorer,roger that bruce
08/18/2015,02:01:58,Scott, Yes, you just came back on
08/18/2015,02:02:09,Scott, Can hear Meme and Karl, no one else...
08/18/2015,02:02:16,okeanosexplorer,thanks scott
08/18/2015,02:02:20,brucemundy,I'm signing off. Back tomorrow.

08/18/2015,11:48:23,iscwatch,Hi EX - is the ship in particularly bad weather? Seeing some serious dropouts with the feed.
08/18/2015,17:16:47,Roland, not bad weather but higher waves
08/18/2015,18:05:27,Catalina, Roland, there is also an echo in the audio. Just FYI.
08/18/2015,18:06:36,Catalina, Maybe echo is the wrong word. The audio is repeating.
08/18/2015,18:08:28,Roland, ??  Do you have both streams monitoring or are you monitoring the OKEX & Live Stream
08/18/2015,18:10:20,Catalina, Just shut down I1 and audio is better on VLC, but image keeps going out
08/18/2015,18:11:07,Roland, Which stream?
08/18/2015,18:12:24,Catalina, Feed 1 seems to have more dropouts
08/18/2015,18:12:28,Catalina, than feed 2
08/18/2015,18:12:57,Catalina, Hard to tell with all blue so it's possible that feed 1 is just as bad
08/18/2015,18:13:13,Catalina, Sorry, I mean possible that feed 2 is just as bad
08/18/2015,18:15:14,ircecc,Fed 2 looks grainy or pixelated
08/18/2015,18:15:19,ircecc,d
08/18/2015,18:16:40,ircecc,better. camera was out of fucus?
08/18/2015,18:18:55,Brendan,  we just disabled the ship wide wifi about 2 mins ago,  do yu see any better ——  This is Roland
08/18/2015,18:22:36,Catalina, Hard to tell with static image on feed 1 and blue on feed 2, but does appear to be better

08/18/2015,18:25:13,Scott, Both feeds look pretty good here on I-1, although camera 1 is Fledermaus so perhaps not a great time to test freezing!
08/18/2015,18:28:08,Scott, Audio on video stream sounds good.

08/18/2015,19:19:12,J.R., A bit of general geo setting:  Gardner Pinnacles is located in the central section of the Hawaiian Ridge.  Gardner’s pinnacles represent the smallest land area above water in the PMNM (and the farthest north volcanic remnant), though its carbonate bank with an area of over 2400 km2 is the largest in the monument suggesting its original high island was comparable with the Island of Hawai‘i.  Gardner Pinnacles has been dated at 12.3 Ma and its rocks exhibit shield and post-shield characteristics, meaning they were emplaced or erupted during and following the main volcano-building phase. 
08/18/2015,19:23:45,okeanosexplorer,thanks john
08/18/2015,19:23:57,Scott, Thanks JR
08/18/2015,19:24:34,brucemundy,Can Feed 2 be switched from the Fledermaus to the ROV camera? Thank you.
08/18/2015,19:25:01,brucemundy,The telecon is breaking up at IRC. We can't hear much.

08/18/2015,19:25:44,brucemundy,We hear the ship at IRC now. Thanks  :)
08/18/2015,19:26:06,J.R., One more geo blurb for the masses:  The Gardner Pinnacles feature has it all:  it contains numerous terraces, some apparently tilted, and a complex fossil barrier reef on its northwestern end (dove on yesterday), with what appears to be a landslide scar between two portions of the terrace.  Volcanic rift zone ridges are also present, which is what we expect is the feature being dove on today.
08/18/2015,19:26:36,brucemundy,FSH
08/18/2015,19:26:42,Scott, Looks like a CORI field
08/18/2015,19:27:48,brucemundy,Macrouridae. Coryphaenoides. Long pelvic-fin rays, but not exceptionally so. Barbel on the chin. Large scales. Corphaenoides longicirrhus again.
08/18/2015,19:28:23,brucemundy,Also, no serrations on the anterior edge of the dorsal-fin spine
08/18/2015,19:28:42,brucemundy,Beautiful video. My compliments to the ROV pilots again.
08/18/2015,19:29:40,brucemundy,The rattail is as curious about us as we are about it.
08/18/2015,19:30:23,J.R., Angular TAL SED POC
08/18/2015,19:30:58,Scott, Note some of these colonies are very planar, and some more 3D. Possibly a reflection of 2 different CORI fan species here.
08/18/2015,19:31:23,Scott, Also scattered CORI skeletons at base of walls
08/18/2015,19:32:14,Scott, Possible CORCH Chrysogorgia
08/18/2015,19:32:21,okeanosexplorer,CORA - Bathypathes
08/18/2015,19:32:45,Scott, Pleurogorgia, Chris
08/18/2015,19:32:49,Amy, for some reason the camera 1 feed on the full res seems compressed?
08/18/2015,19:32:59,Scott, No "averta" was the saddlebags Chrysogorgia
08/18/2015,19:33:01,Amy, CORA bathypathes
08/18/2015,19:33:06,J.R., Truncated PILlow 
08/18/2015,19:33:18,okeanosexplorer,CORO - Anthomastus
08/18/2015,19:33:45,Scott, The planar half-pinnate chrysogorgiid we collected we thought may have been a Pleurogorgia
08/18/2015,19:34:10,Scott, Video and telecon freeze
08/18/2015,19:34:15,Scott, telecon back
08/18/2015,19:34:20,Scott, video back
08/18/2015,19:34:27,J.R., Well-jointed volcanics
08/18/2015,19:34:32,Scott, Why not?
08/18/2015,19:34:46,kelleyelliott,Hi folks - please let us know how the feeds are looking this morning once we're a few minutes in.

08/18/2015,19:35:12,Scott, Chris: we've had 18 dives - if this is that unique, you may not get another chance, so consider that rather than point of the dive.
08/18/2015,19:35:42,Scott, I mean if the sponge is really important.
08/18/2015,19:35:55,Scott, telecon freeze
08/18/2015,19:36:04,Amy, video freeze
08/18/2015,19:36:05,Scott, video freeze
08/18/2015,19:36:17,Scott, telecon/video back
08/18/2015,19:37:30,Scott, CORI Acanella weberi like
08/18/2015,19:37:45,Scott, Maybe the rock with the sponge is loose...
08/18/2015,19:40:28,Amy, like pulling the last tooth!
08/18/2015,19:41:09,Scott, Interesting how slowly the sediments at base of rock are wafting away...
08/18/2015,19:42:20,Scott, Daniel, how are your biceps and back doing? ;-)
08/18/2015,19:42:40,okeanosexplorer,STRONGER THAN EVER :)
08/18/2015,19:43:03,Amy, POL
08/18/2015,19:43:20,Scott, Is there a load limit for the ROV?
08/18/2015,19:43:42,Scott, Video/telecon freeze
08/18/2015,19:44:52,Roland, Our maximum bandwidth is 11MB and we are averaging just below 10 from the ship

08/18/2015,19:45:14,Scott, Telecon back, video remains stuttering
08/18/2015,19:45:35,Scott, @Roland: copy. Just providing feedback, not complaining
08/18/2015,19:47:48,Roland, @Scott sorry that message was meant for the ISC in reference to current transmission status.  Not the Load Limit for the ROV
08/18/2015,19:48:41,Scott, @Roland: no worries - I think we are all carrying on 3 independent and overlapping conversations!
08/18/2015,19:49:03,Scott, Video freeze. Haven't heard science on telecon in a while
08/18/2015,19:49:15,Scott, Video back
08/18/2015,19:51:04,Scott, Can hear pilots on audio and hear possible alarm. Telecon has definitely been dropped.
08/18/2015,19:58:39,brucemundy,IRC has no Telecon and the video stream has been frozen for a while.
08/18/2015,20:00:36,Scott, Same here. Not sure if this is related to the alarm we heard or just the issue with rocking in the swell.
08/18/2015,20:01:29,Scott, You'll note all shipboard personel have also been booted from the eventlog, which suggests a communication problem.
08/18/2015,20:23:08,Scott, Great to hear a voice there for a second on the telecon…
08/18/2015,20:23:19,Scott, And see you all back here in chatroom.
08/18/2015,20:23:27,asakomatsumoto,I can't see anything from the beggining.....
08/18/2015,20:23:34,Scott, Video no restored yet
08/18/2015,20:23:40,Scott, So can't hear you
08/18/2015,20:24:02,Scott, Now can see a sponge
08/18/2015,20:24:14,Scott, Video stuttering back to life
08/18/2015,20:24:19,asakomatsumoto,back
08/18/2015,20:24:21,kelleyelliott,Sorry all - the VSAT onboard literally lost the satellite and has just reconnected
08/18/2015,20:24:24,Scott, but is not in widescreen
08/18/2015,20:24:35,Scott, Whew. I had much darker thoughts!
08/18/2015,20:24:43,Scott, Glad to know all is well.
08/18/2015,20:24:52,Scott, Yup - can hear you now Daniel
08/18/2015,20:24:59,Scott, on telecon
08/18/2015,20:25:39,Scott, Looks like a nodal vs internodal here next to each other

08/18/2015,20:27:40,Scott, I will note that in Williams paper on the sea pens, he has some in situ photos of rock pens but they are labeled "indeterminate species" Even he can't ID them to genus from the photo.
08/18/2015,20:28:25,asakomatsumoto,nice sclerites.
08/18/2015,20:28:28,Scott, Couple of hitchhikers there on the bamboo branch
08/18/2015,20:28:33,Scott, small orange things
08/18/2015,20:29:07,Scott, One of the many species of "Keratoisis"
08/18/2015,20:29:17,Scott, On right is likely Acanella weberi

08/18/2015,20:50:57,Scott, So far all I can tell you regarding Amphianthus (new name for Synanthus) anemones is they  and relatives  "modify their bases to grasp substrates like tubes or skeletons of other sessile invertebrates." Unclear if this exapnds to the coating we saw there.
08/18/2015,20:51:18,Scott, I'm going to have to call in my zoanthid colleagues for help!

08/18/2015,21:19:28,Amy, variety of CORI
08/18/2015,21:20:36,Scott, I wonder if it is a young Metallogorgia

08/18/2015,21:21:52,Scott, No Ophiocreas, so CAN'T be a Metallogorgia!
08/18/2015,21:22:35,asakomatsumoto,same video problem here.
08/18/2015,21:24:37,Scott, Re: video - more a pixelation problem than out-and-out freezing

08/18/2015,21:26:41,Scott, I think you said you are slightly below the crest...
08/18/2015,21:26:50,Scott, but moving along the ridge…
08/18/2015,21:27:05,Scott, i.e. we are moving along the feature and not on iinital climb of wall
08/18/2015,21:28:10,Scott, With respect to the waypoints, are we past waypoint 2? I'm guessing we are.
08/18/2015,21:28:22,Scott, i.e. we are moving toward waypoint 3
08/18/2015,21:29:14,Scott, This ridge has a bamboo coral infestation "problem"
08/18/2015,21:29:55,Scott, Copy that Chris
08/18/2015,21:30:57,asakomatsumoto,video pixelation problem and choppy
08/18/2015,21:32:19,Scott, Incredible the variation in skeleton thickness between base and newer branches on this colony
08/18/2015,21:32:36,Scott, Back one is Keratoisis
08/18/2015,21:33:05,Scott, Front one may just be a much younger version of back one…
08/18/2015,21:33:13,asakomatsumoto,I was impressed with the branching pattern and variation of morphology for this site.
08/18/2015,21:33:46,Scott, Alomst 2 m across perhaps

08/18/2015,21:38:00,brucemundy,Same round-nosed species.
08/18/2015,21:38:20,Scott, Agree Chris - has CORPA look
08/18/2015,21:38:27,brucemundy,We are getting visitors here at IRC, so my attention is somewhat irregular
08/18/2015,21:38:31,Scott, Paragorgia barely hanging on!
08/18/2015,21:39:40,asakomatsumoto,yes it looks Paragorgia
08/18/2015,21:40:32,Scott, So are these ZOA polyps any larger than what we saw earlier on the CORI?
08/18/2015,21:40:46,Scott, Video freezing, as is telecon
08/18/2015,21:44:02,Scott, Fledrmaus not on camera 2 right now, if you are intending to show us...
08/18/2015,21:45:04,okeanosexplorer,chris just wanted to tal about it
08/18/2015,21:45:05,Scott, Is that another overgrown Paragorgia?
08/18/2015,21:45:10,Scott, in back?

08/18/2015,21:45:51,Scott, Sorry

08/18/2015,21:46:42,Scott, Amphipods on SPO
08/18/2015,21:46:52,brucemundy,ASR
08/18/2015,21:47:08,Scott, Is this SPO dead, or brown when alive?
08/18/2015,21:48:02,okeanosexplorer,dead
08/18/2015,21:48:18,okeanosexplorer,this species is white when alive
08/18/2015,21:49:34,Scott, Thx
08/18/2015,21:49:35,brucemundy,CRA
08/18/2015,21:50:09,asakomatsumoto,it means that white sea star attached on this sponges not to eat. so what is it for? just for habitat?
08/18/2015,21:50:52,Scott, @Asako: possibly to graze on microbial community and whatever other organics are being passively trapped?
08/18/2015,21:51:16,Scott, Lithodid crab
08/18/2015,21:51:57,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: could be.. so what is the difference of microbial community on the rock?
08/18/2015,21:53:54,asakomatsumoto,I just curios that these white seaster were just found on this dead sponges. not on the rock.

08/18/2015,21:58:07,Scott, @Asako: apologies - just saw your question. I don't know answer regarding microbial community but I have learned from colleagues that microbial communities associated with corals can differ greatly between coral species, so it wouldn't surprise me to find different community on sponge vs rock… Also, the positioning of that sponge up off the bottom means that organic material floating past can get trapped there, even if sponge is dead.
08/18/2015,21:58:36,Scott, Pleurogorgia?
08/18/2015,21:58:59,Scott, Yes. CORCH Pleurogorgia like we collected near beginningof leg
08/18/2015,21:59:33,Scott, Note branches arise on one side, polyps opposite those branches
08/18/2015,22:01:43,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: Thank you! I agree for the microbial communities. but for the positioning, they can use live sponges too. sponges might have some kind of anti-starfish chemicals, at least something like that. sometimes they have.
08/18/2015,22:04:41,Scott, From Dr. Tim Swain, zoanthid specialist at the Field Museum of Natural History and Northwestern University, on the large yellow polyps we saw earlier on the bamboo coral: "I would say that the yellow polyps are zoanthids on a (at least partially) dead bamboo coral. That could help place it as a Corallizoanthus."

08/18/2015,22:05:22,Scott, @Asako: excellent observation! Good hypothesis. We need to keep an eye out to see if Henricia are on any live sponges!
08/18/2015,22:06:35,Scott, Wall-ee sponge…
08/18/2015,22:08:12,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: yes indeed. and on any live corals too.

08/18/2015,22:12:52,asakomatsumoto,interesting...
08/18/2015,22:13:59,okeanosexplorer,paragorgia with ZOA
08/18/2015,22:14:02,Scott, Chris is a bit quiet right now…
08/18/2015,22:14:10,Scott, Time for a mike adjustment?
08/18/2015,22:14:18,Amy, CORPA with ZOA
08/18/2015,22:14:49,Scott, This ZOA looks to have a much "crustier" body wall than the one on the CORI...

08/18/2015,22:15:58,Scott, Was able to find a small patch of sand to exploit
08/18/2015,22:16:13,Scott, These Anthomastus different from previous

08/18/2015,22:16:41,Amy, small CORC
08/18/2015,22:16:48,asakomatsumoto,the coral collected the 2 days before was Plexaruid or Paragorgia? what was the cross-section looks like?
08/18/2015,22:16:55,Scott, Almost as bad as an ASR for bamboo corals!
08/18/2015,22:17:24,Scott, @Asako: all Daniel told us was it was NOT Paragorgia
08/18/2015,22:18:05,Scott, This pixelation at the wrong time is a killer!
08/18/2015,22:18:07,okeanosexplorer,yes asako, in cross-section it looked more like a plexaurid
08/18/2015,22:18:26,asakomatsumoto,@Scott: thank you! yesterday, we saw true Paragorgia and it remainds me the previous one was not Paragorgia.
08/18/2015,22:18:27,Scott, I could swear that PYC had a polyp in its grasp
08/18/2015,22:18:46,okeanosexplorer,you are breaking up jonathan

08/18/2015,22:26:58,Scott, While I generally agree with the comment on substraum and change of animals, it has to be noted that we are  500 m deeper as well today compared to yesterday.
08/18/2015,22:27:12,okeanosexplorer,good point
08/18/2015,22:27:51,okeanosexplorer,but we have also seen higher densities in deeer waters

08/18/2015,22:29:45,okeanosexplorer,ZOA on CORI
08/18/2015,22:31:59,Amy, I might actually call this one of the more diverse spots we've been to, at least in spots, there are at least 3-4 species of isidids, plus chrysogorgiids, corallid, anthomastus, etc
08/18/2015,22:32:02,Scott, @Daniel: I meant that we have to be cautious making comparative statements based on little replication. We visited only 1 carbonate structure so far, and it was at a shallower depth than many of the dives, so we would need to visit carbonates at a variety of depths. Of course, the deeper they are, the older they are and the more likely to be Mn encrusted, so that could remove the efect!
08/18/2015,22:32:24,Scott, @Amy: and even at least 2 CORA
08/18/2015,22:32:25,okeanosexplorer,I totally agree scott
08/18/2015,22:33:17,okeanosexplorer,but it appears that today's spot is prime coral habitat, with the exception of a few pockets
08/18/2015,22:34:27,Scott, Agreed Daniel!

08/18/2015,22:36:41,okeanosexplorer,no, we were shallower yesterday (1400-1550) 
08/18/2015,22:36:56,Scott, OK - good - that is what I thought. Whew!
08/18/2015,22:40:09,jonathantree,hey guys, it was really hard to hear Meme but did I hear that you have mapped the remaining N. rift zone here?

08/18/2015,22:40:35,jonathantree,wow thats great!
08/18/2015,22:42:03,asakomatsumoto,it was the same sponge species on which white seastar attaced!

08/18/2015,23:03:02,Scott, Balloon?
08/18/2015,23:03:15,Amy, ANT
08/18/2015,23:03:55,Scott, When possible can we get a quick look at the smooth-looking whips to determine if they are CORPR vs CORI?
08/18/2015,23:04:38,Amy, Can u zoom on that more?
08/18/2015,23:04:47,Scott, Agreed: everything here is CORI
08/18/2015,23:05:00,Amy, If you se another CORC like that please zoom closer if you can

08/18/2015,23:05:48,Scott, First time in a while
08/18/2015,23:06:01,Scott, I think telecon also interrupyed
08/18/2015,23:06:07,Scott, Telecon back
08/18/2015,23:06:07,Roland, thanks

08/18/2015,23:18:34,Scott, Lots of HYD, BAR taking advantage of cleared skeleton
08/18/2015,23:19:09,Scott, When the tissue is removed, it is just another "rock" to settle on, but up in the water where flow is better
08/18/2015,23:19:32,Scott, There may have been a PYC in there
08/18/2015,23:23:28,Scott, To confirm: we can hear you on video feed, but no conference call
08/18/2015,23:23:38,okeanosexplorer,thank scott
08/18/2015,23:24:16,Scott, That would be good with some guacamole in it

08/18/2015,23:30:38,ircecc,From Bruce Mundy - I didn't get a good look at that last Synaphobranchus. Several things happened. We had visitors here, we lost the Telecon, and my laptop froze so I couldn't send a message. I'm rebooting now. I still don't hear anything on the telecon, but the video at IRC is good.
08/18/2015,23:31:13,okeanosexplorer,we are working to reestablish the conference line, bruce

08/18/2015,23:36:40,Scott, I could hear him in the background, I thought…
08/18/2015,23:36:59,Scott, Maybe he was just napping. ;-)
