Agelas conifera

Notes: Browhish/pinkish/cinnamon orange, laterally fused tubes, running on branches or growing on one another, and usually arising from a single base, forming antlers or clubs. Often with darker zoanthids livion on the skin. May be confused with Agelas tubulata Lehnert & van Soest, 1996, also pictured here, in which the tubes usually arise from the base close to the substratum. Spicules are acanthostyles.
