On soft sediment at the beginning of the dive cup corals, cerianthids, eels and grenadiers occur. This transitioned to more broken hard ground with small soft corals are evident and the occasional clump of Solenosmilia. While ascending a hard incline fauna is initially scarce but continuing up slope coral rubble and living Solenosmilia become more common and form an extensive reef. Brisingiids, Leiopathes sp., Acanella sp., Parantipathes sp. are all evident along with associated fauna, sponges and fish. The oyster Acesta excavata is abundant. Over the top of a wall the ground is again soft sediment with occasional Stichopathes sp., ophiuroids and cup corals.

START VIDEO [00:00:00]/19:05 Bedrock and mud with sparse epifauna including Ophiuroidea and anemones on a gentle down slope. Suspended mud. [00:03:00] The ROV moves up and down along the water column. Poor visibility. [00:05:00] Visibility back to normal, although ROV escapes from mud clouds. [00:07:00] Here carbonate mounds and crusts with scarce visible epifauna. [00:08:00] ROV hovers close to a carbonate boulder, which reveals a field of sea pens. [00:09:00] Poor visibility. [00:10:00] The ROV reaches the edge of the carbonate boulder and descends on a flat/slightly down hill muddy sediment with carbonate boulders with scarce epifauna. Holothuroidea species and Ophiomusa lymani dominate. [00:13:00] Frequent cobbles and carbonate boulders in this part of the transect. O. lymani dominates. [00:15:00] substrata changes into boulders, coral framework (mainly dead reef) and mud with sparse epifauna. [00:17:00] Now substrata intersperse between mud/cobbles and bedrock/mud. Epifaunally scarce. Visibility at times poor as ROV hovers high on the ground. [00:19:00] Steep bedrock with overhanging antipatharians and Solenosmilia variabilis reefs (living and dead). [19:27:00] ROV reaches the summit. [00:22:00]-[00:23:00] Blue water for a minute while ROV descends the steep carbonate cliff. [00:25:00] Visibility is clear again and ROV moves along the cliff. Sparse epifauna with a few individual of Coryphaenoides species. [00:26:00] the ROV gets closer to the ground showing O. lymani and Stichopathes sp. [00:26:00] ROV stops for imagery and hits the carbonate mound. Mud obscures the video for a few seconds. ROV moves upwards to escape the muddy cloud. [00:27:00]-[00:32:00] ROV stops for imagery and carbonate cobble sampling. [00:34:00] ROV climbs steep carbonate cliff with dominant Ceriantharia sp. [00:41:00] Coral reef framework (100% dead) on carbonate mound. [00:44:00] A few dead bivalvia (poss Acesta excavata). [00:55:00] ROV reaches the summit. Coral reef framework (living and dead) persists with abundant sponge aggregations. [01:00:00] No more coral reef framework, now muddy sediment with sparse cobbles. [01:03:00] Sampling of cobble with Cirripedia sp. and Anthomastus grandiflorus as well as 1 pushcore until END VIDEO [01:11:00]/20:16.
