Thread-like tentacles in the Mediterranean corals Paramuricea clavata and Corallium rubrum

The occurrence of modified tentacles (i.e. thread-like tentacles) in the Mediterranean octocorals Paramuricea clavata and Corallium rubrum is reported. Colonies of four species of Mediterranean gorgonians were maintained in aquarium conditions for more than five months. The development of thread-lik...
