REMARKS. Photographically documented 94 specimens, 9 of them were collected. Color varies from bright rose-orange with a white limbus to pale rose and to almost white. About 100 tentacles are arranged in at least five cycles. The diameter of the tentacular crown up to 15 cm. Column has prominent papillae arranged into longitudinal rows. In most deep-water specimens, the papillae are especially prominent — only three such specimens were photographed on the Vulcanologov Massif at depths of 3393–3545 m, one of which was collected. They have pale coloration. Other specimens on the Vulcanologov Massif were recorded on the northern top of the Piip Volcano at 374–382 m and on the northern and southern slopes of the Piip Volcano at 789– 1957 m. On the Vulcanologov Massif this species is rather rare, only 18 specimens were recorded, two of which collected. On the Koryak slope, this species occurs in background communities, but becomes more numerous in the area of methane seep fields, where it lives on pebble outcrops, near bacterial spots and mats, and settlements of bivalve mollusks Calyptogena . Here it was recorded at 280– 672 m.
