The scattered spindle-shaped sclerites in the neck of the polyps are distinctive among octocorals in the region. Images taken in lab of specimen collected at low tide from Cayucos. When disturbed, the polyps of this species can retract completely into the colony mass (see 4th image).
For a good view of a colony of this species in situ at low tide at Scott Creek, Santa Cruz County, CA, see image by @lemurdillo here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/5160161

This observation is a part of the long-term monitoring efforts of Gustav Paulay and his team at FLMNH and Friday Harbor Labs.
Although this observation also falls within the boundaries of the MarineGEO iNaturalist umbrella project (which is an ongoing collaborative work between MarineGEO and the Tennenbaum Marine Observatories Network, the Florida Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History Museum, and our network partners), this is not from a MarineGEO specific campaign.
