We compared the reproductive morphology of two gorgonian-type octocorals, Paramuricea placomus (Plexauridae) and Metallogorgia melanotrichos (Chrysogorgiidae) and use morphological data to infer sexual reproductive strategy. P. placomus is a member of the Family Plexauridae which includes both deep and shallow-water species. It’s range extends from the eastern to the western North Atlantic (150m -1600m). The material we examined was collected in the Gulf of Maine in June 2002 and August 2003. M. melanotrichos belongs to the exclusively deep-water octocoral family Chrysogorgiidae. This species occurs both in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (183m - 2078m). We collected and examined M. melanotrichos colonies from the New England Seamount Chain in July 2003 and May 2004. Our study shows that both species are gonochoristic, a trait which is common in shallow-water octocorals. Basic reproductive anatomy in P. placomus and M. melanotrichos is typical of anthozoans, with gonads developing along the mesenteries in the basal region of the polyps (Achituv and Benayahu 1990; Tyler et al. 1995). In male colonies of both species, germ cells appear to undergo synchronous development. In female M. melanotrichos colonies oocytes in various stages of development are present in a single polyp.10areproduction1 aSimpson, Anne., W.1 aWatling, L.1 aECKELBARGER, K., J.  uhttps://deepseaoctocoral.myspecies.info/node/1801824nas a2200181   4500008004100000245003000041210003000071260002800101300001000129520133200139653002001471653001501491653002601506100002001532700002001552700001801572856005201590       1981                        eng d00aAlcyonacea and Gorgonacea0 aAlcyonacea and Gorgonacea  bMoscow: Akademiya Nauk.  a40-553 aTRANSLATION: BORIS Boris_Shoshitaishvili@brown.edu Here’s the translation for the paragraph - I did my best and I put word with multiple meanings and/or words I’m not sure about in quotes. Enjoy: Their length exceeds the length of their spicules by a small amount in the base of their polyps, but their width remains in the same order. Directly under the "halo/aureola/circle" of "tentacles/feelers", the "armor" of the lengthwise positioned sclerites breaks up into 8 distinct "strands/cords", made up of the conserved lengthwise distributed spicules. In this section of "autozoids (I can’t find this word in any dictionary)", the sclerites take on a somewhat applanate (horizontally flattened) form. In each of these "strands/cords", these spicules lie in 5-6 rows in the proximal part and in 3-4 rows in the distal part. The farther "strands/cords" "cross/go over" onto the dorsal side of the "feelers/tentacles". But here remains only two rows of sclerites. The last ones become even more horizontally flattened, but their "skin/surface" is more granular and with more clearly expressed "conical/tapered" "papillae/eminences/buds/tubercules". The length of these spicules practically does not change in comparison to the spicules of the previous section, but their width is somewhat greater and reaches 0.035-0.04 mm.10aChrysogorgiidae10amacrospina10ametallogorgia tennuis1 aPasternak, F.A.1 aKuznetsov, A.P.1 aMironov, A.N.  uhttps://deepseaoctocoral.myspecies.info/node/3500313nas a2200121   4500008004100000245001700041210001700058300000900075490000600084653002000090100002900110856005200139       1944                        eng d00aOctocorallia0 aOctocorallia  a1-650 v510aChrysogorgiidae1 aMadsen, Fritz, Jensenius  uhttps://deepseaoctocoral.myspecies.info/node/43
