Soft corals form aragonite-precipitated columnar spiculite in mesophotic reefs
Surveys conducted in Eilat’s upper mesophotic coral ecosystem (MCE) revealed protruding columnar calcareous structures with a Sinularia octocoral colony growing atop of each. The current study addressed the hypothesis that these colonies produce spiculites, and sought to determine (a) the spatial oc...
