Phenacovolva rosea (Adams, 1855)
25mm

This common and variable species was found at a number of sites on gorgonians with brown to red stalks and white to yellow polyps. We have split out several other forms as P. cf rosea that are likely all variations of one species. However, it would be interesting to have that confirmed through DNA studies.

Juvenile.
