Cold‐water coral assemblages on vertical walls from the Northeast Atlantic
Abstract Aim In this study, we assess patterns of cold‐water coral assemblages observed on deep‐sea vertical walls. Similar to their shallow‐water counterparts, vertical and overhanging walls in the deep sea can host highly diverse communities, but because of their geometry, these habitats are generally overlooked and remain poorly known.

Genus Stichopathes Brook, 1889 The genus Stichopathes is characterized by colonies that are unbranched, and polyps that are arranged in a single row on one side of the corallum (Brook, 1889). However, the validity of polyp arrangement as the main diagnostic character distinguishing amongst Stichopathes and the two other antipatharian genera with ...
