Information
“Alcyonacea”; “黒場 178尋, 12/8/95, 飯島”.

Remarks Colony: one colony.
“Kuroba (黒場)” is probably the name of a fishing ground, but I could not confirm the locality. If “Kuroba” is another name for “Kurose Bank”, the later is located about 150 km south of Sagami Bay (about 30 km north of Hachijo-jima Island.
