Distribution ...Although specimens referred to A. pennacea are common in the western Atlantic (Caribbean region; Opresko, 1974) and also known from the south Atlantic (St. Helena; Brook, 1889; Opresko, 1974), the species has only rarely been reported from the Indo-Pacific, the type locality. van Pesch, 1914, however, described several specimens from the Philippines under the name Antipathes pennacea. These differ from neotype particularly in the maximum size of the axial spines (0.11 mm vs. 0.24 mm). Furthermore, the St. Helena specimens differ from both the Indo-Pacifc specimens of van Pesch and the western Atlantic material in both the size of the spines (up to 0.32 mm) and in the density of the polyps (see Opresko, 1974, for further discussion). Thus, it is quite likely that more than one species is currently included under the name P. pennacea.... [details]
