Along the Pacific coast of southern Japan, a large gorgonacean colony of flabellate branching, which is usually known as "Umi-utiwa ", 2 l is occasionally found, as stranded on the beach or caught by fishermen's nets. The stranded colony is usually almost denuded without bark while being cleaned ashore, so that anyone who happened to see it cannot decide to which kind of the Gorgonacea it should be referred.
