Title

A new record of deep-sea scleratinian coral of the family Flabellidae (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) from Korea

Abstract

This study newly records a deep-sea coral, Flabellum (Ulocyathus) deludens from Korea. The specimens were collected by trawling at a depth of 100 m off Jejudo Island in 2019. The newly recorded species is described and compared with the other similar consubgeneric species in detail based on morphological characteristics, including corallum size, calicular diameter, calicular edge, face angle, edge angle, and septal arrangement. Flabellum(Ulocyathus) deludens is characterized by its solitary, highly compressed, wedge-shaped corallite with a small cylindrical pedicel, radiating inverse chevron-patterned lateral stripes on thecal faces, highly jagged calicular edges, and hexameral septal arrangement in five cycles. As a result of this study, five species in the family Flabellidae have been recorded from Korea.
