Abstract
    Molluscan species living in association with Corallium rubrumcolonies are poorly known. Specimens
    found on the branches of red coral colonies located off Capo Caccia (Alghero – SS, West Sardinia,
    Mediterranean Sea) were studied by analyzing red coral branches collected at a depth of between 100 and
    120 m; their assemblage was made up of 44 species, all belonging to the classes Gastropoda and Bivalvia.
    Some data on the geographical distribution, ecology, taxonomy and dominance of these species, both
    alive and dead, are given and the most interesting are commented on. Among the recorded species Trivia
    multilirata, Simnia purpurea, Coralliophila brevis, Ocinebrina paddeui, Pleurotomella demosia, Palliolum
    striatum     and Pseudamussium sulcatum deserve attention. Moreover, the second finding of living
    specimens of Asperarca secreta, described only on loose valves, is reported, and finally the prey-predator
    relationships among several gastropods and Cnidarians are confirmed.
