Taxonomic remark Species boundaries within Bebryce and closely related genera in Acanthogorgiidae remain incompletely resolved, and reliance on morphology alone may lead to uncertain identifications. Comprehensive revision, including study of type material, is needed to stabilize taxonomy in this group, and ongoing research is expected to clarify species limits. [details]
