Summary edit

Description

Knopia octocontacanalis. Exploratory dive, Great Barrier Reef

It looks like an impressionist painting of a field of daisies, but these are actually animals, the polyps of a soft octocoral, living some 12 metres beneath the sea near Port Douglas, Australia. The genus Knopia was first described only in January 2007 and is named after German marine biologist Daniel Knop, who supplied the type specimen. Knopia octocontacanalis is the only current member of the genus.
