FIGURE 2. Antipathes flabellum neotype, specimen NHMT-R2E2064. (a) Lateral view of the entire specimen, with the basal plate anchored to a rock. (b) Close-up view of the several basal stems of the colony, all growing from the basal plate. They are covered by polyps. (c) Close-up view of the terminal branchlets that extend outside of the bidimensional plan of the colony. Polyps are found on the outermost side. (d) Close-up view of the branching pattern of the colony, seen by unfolding the colony. The dotted line represents the crease between the two folds. In this case, the polyps of both folds are facing each other in their natural state.
