An underwater photograph shows a diverse muddy bottom habitat with brittlestars, stylasterid (lace) corals, and other invertebrates forming a deep-sea coral ecosystem in the North Pacific. Credit: NOAA Fisheries Diverse benthic habitat, showing brittlestars, a crinoid, and stylasterid corals of the genus Stylaster. Stylasterid (Stylasteridae) corals are among the most important habitat-forming invertebrates in deep-sea coral ecosystems in the North Pacific. They are also known as ‘lace corals’ or ‘hydrocorals’. Like their warm water cousins the stony coral, found in coral reefs, they have rigid skeletons made of calcium carbonate. Credit: NOAA Fisheries
