Oculina Virginea (Lamarck)

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

Oculina ranges from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina through the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, though the main population of concern is off east-central Florida where it forms unique thicket-type structures in 70-100 meters (230 to 330 ft) depth known as the “Oculina Banks". Colonies are arborescent, with highly clumped, irregular bushy branches.
