[12:15:29] (Tina) ctenophore [12:15:41] Collecting that ctenophore could be great. Tjaffiella perhaps [12:15:55] Hi everybody! Would be nice to sample the Farreidae, if there's any chance... [12:16:06] (Tina) not tunicate [12:16:45] Very scraggly colony! [12:17:13] Hi Rhian! [12:17:31] (Tina) and I it looks like anastomosis [12:17:50] Good morning/evening Asako! [12:18:04] Sometime during the transect, if you see an interesting coral or sponge that just happens to have more of those benthic ctenophores, I know a student (Nick Bezio at U.

[12:18:57] (Tina) and there is an anemone (possible cupcoral) under ledge [12:19:15] taraluke leaves the room [12:19:23] I pulled off a dozen or 2 dozen of the benthic ctenophores from the bamboo coral in an earlier dive, but gthey may have been from 3300 m.

[12:20:36] Totally understand if ctenophore is not possible. [12:21:01] Hi Les! [12:22:56] Wonderful collection! [12:23:01] Amazing!
