Remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer images a rock wall covered with corals from the genus Chrysogorgia. Starting at a depth of approximately 990 meters (3,248 feet), these corals were the dominant fauna encountered while exploring this unnamed seamount during the third dive of the Papahānaumokuākea ROV and Mapping expedition.
