This tanish/orange colored sea fan


This tanish/orange colored sea fan (plume) was found on the rocky bottom during an opportunisitic dive September 12. This dive was considered opportunistic because the ROV was initially just down to calibrate it with the ship. Due to less than desirable surface currents, the scientists were able to collect samples.
