This Hemicorallium coral was observed during the second dive of the Seascape Alaska 3 expedition at a depth of approximately 2,270 meters (7,450 feet). This may represent the first observation of this genus of corals in the Aleutian Archipelago, which would make this a new range record for Hemicorallium.
