Leptogorgia sarmentosa reproduction

01 January 1970 0 928 Report

I have photographed a colony of Leptogorgia sarmentosa and, at a subsequent analysis of the image, I spotted some small white stains on the main stem of the gorgonian, that I did not notice in situ. I am wondering if they are sexual products. Is there anybody that noticed something similar? I could not find anything in the literature. The colony was found at 45 m depth in NE Sardinia, Mediterranean Sea.
