	Narella ''Narella'' (Gray, 1870) is a genus of deep-sea Alcyonacea, soft corals in the family Primnoidae (Milne Edwards, 1857). They are Sessility (motility), sessile, Benthic zone, bottom-dwelling organisms that can be found in all ocean basins, having cosmopolitan distribution. They have a branching appearance. History Etymology The name ''Narella'' is believed to be derived from the latin ''nares,'' meaning nostril, due to the resemblance of the rows of polyps to small noses. Discovery The present understanding of ''Narella'' and its members was only established in the late 20th century. Prior to that, many members of ''Narella'' were categorized into other genera. While the genus itself was described in 1870 by John Edward Gray, the first species in the genus was described in 1860, ''Primnoa regularis'' (now recognized as ''Narella regularis''). In 1887 several new species of ''Narella'' were discovered by Edward Percival WEdward Wright and Théophile Rudolphe Studer, Théophi ...

	Callogorgia ''Callogorgia'' is a genus of deep sea corals that are ideally suited to be habitats for different organisms. They reproduce both sexually and asexually, clinging to the hard substrate of the ocean during their maturation process. ''Callogorgia'' are found at depths ranging from 750-8200 feet in the Gulf of Mexico, Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. An array of organisms have relationships with ''Callogorgia,'' including brittle stars, cat sharks, and copepods. The nature of these relationships are often commensal, with ''Callogorgia'' providing a habitat for the organisms.

picture info	Alcyonacea Alcyonacea, or soft corals, are an order of corals. In addition to the fleshy soft corals, the order Alcyonacea now contains all species previously known as "gorgonian corals", that produce a more or less hard skeleton, though quite different from "true" corals (Scleractinia). These can be found in suborders Holaxonia, Scleraxonia, and Stolonifera. They are sessile colonial cnidarians that are found throughout the oceans of the world, especially in the deep sea, polar waters, tropics and subtropics. Common names for subsets of this order are sea fans and sea whips; others are similar to the sea pens of related order Pennatulacea. Individual tiny polyps form colonies that are normally erect, flattened, branching, and reminiscent of a fan. Others may be whiplike, bushy, or even encrusting. A colony can be several feet high and across, but only a few inches thick. They may be brightly coloured, often purple, red, or yellow. Photosynthetic gorgonians can be successfully kept in c ...
