The World’s largest known Gorgonian
Zootaxa, 2013Gorgonians in the deep sea can be much larger than their shallow water counterparts, but there are only a few scattered measurements. We have estimated the size of a chrysogorgiid gorgonian, Iridogorgia magnispiralis Watling 2007, observed from a submersible on Twin Banks in theNorthwest Hawaiian Islands, as being 5.7 m tall.

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2014
Gorgonian corals are the dominant benthic fauna on many Caribbean reefs, and yet studies on the makeup of the host, or their dinoflagellate symbionts, Symbiodinium spp., are scarce. We investigated the biochemical composition and symbiont parameters in eight gorgonian coral species. Skeletal material, comprised of sclerites and refractory material, was

In the 1980s, certain areas in the Caribbean experienced mass mortalities of sea fans (Gorgonia flabellum). These areas included the coasts of Costa Rica (Guzman and Cortez 1984), Panama (Garzon-Ferreira and Zea 1992; Diaz et al. 1995), and Trinidad (Laydoo 1983).

Caribbean gorgonian octocorals cope with nutrient enrichment
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019Corals inhabit oligotrophic waters, thriving amidst limited nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous. When nutrient levels increase, usually due to human activity, the symbiosis of dinoflagellates (family Symbiodiniaceae) with scleractinian corals can break down.

Marine sterols from some gorgonians
Steroids, 1974Abstract The sterol composition from three animals of the cnidarian class Anthozoa is reported. Cholesterol was the predominant sterol in three species from the family Gorgoniidae. The cyclopropane-containing sterol, gorgosterol, when present, was the second most plentiful component.

Steroids from the Gorgonian Isis hippuris
Journal of Natural Products, 2005Six new polyoxygenated steroids, hippuristerones J-L (1-3), hippuristerols E-F (4, 5), and a novel gorgosteroid, 1alpha,3beta,5beta,11alpha-tetrahydroxygorgostan-6-one (6), were isolated from the gorgonian Isis hippuris. The structures of these metabolites were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison of the NMR data with those of ...

New Diterpenes from the Gorgonian Solenopodium excavatum
Journal of Natural Products, 1993Seven new briariane diterpene lactones were isolated from the gorgonian Solenopodium excavatum collected in New Guinea. One structure (4) was determined by X-ray diffraction and the remainder were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Six of the new briareolides, 4-9, exist in a conformation that is quite uncommon for representatives of this fairly ...

Sesquiterpene variability in the gorgonian genus Plexaurella
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2009Gorgonian corals have proven to be a prolific source of a variety of biologically active terpenes. Corals of the genus Plexaurella are known to be the source of a diverse array of sesquiterpenes, and past reports have indicated variability in terpene content.

New C-secosteroids from the gorgonian Tripalea clavaria
Steroids, 2007Seven new C-secosteroids were isolated from the gorgonian Tripalea clavaria collected from the South Atlantic. These compounds have a Delta(5), 9,11-secosteroid nucleus together with a 22S hydroxyl group. The absolute configuration of the 22-hydroxyl group was determined with the help of COSY spectra of the Mosher esters of the compounds.
