The mechanical arm of the ROV holds the ADCP current meter in front of a ìbubblegum coralî Peragorgia sp. to measure the flow of particles around the coral. Some of the white coral-like animals were collected for the first time by the ROV yesterday and turned out to be a species of sponge. Image courtesy of NOAA/MBARI 2006.
