8ED780A7873E52C0B6CF7DEDE269AA39.taxon	description	Description. Specimen with two attached individuals of the crustacean genus Galathea Fabricius, 1793 (Fig. 4 C). Main stem short with a principal bifurcation, forming two roughly parallel, fans (Fig. 4 A, F). Calcareous holdfast small and white, about 7 mm in diameter (Fig. 4 F). Major branches of each fan subdivided dichotomously or sympodially. Specimen about 16 cm long and 15 cm wide with a brilliant golden axis, and the stem about 1.5 mm in diameter at base (Fig. 4 C). Internodes about 5 - 9 mm long, each with a single polyp except the terminal twigs, which may sometimes have two polyps. Polyps large and orange in situ, about 3 - 5 mm tall by 1 - 2 mm wide, with sclerites forming an inconspicuous blunt point at the base of a naked tract below each tentacle (Figs 4 D, 5 A). Terminal polyps usually with a long and narrow body (Fig. 4 E). In the basal part of the polyp body, the sclerites comprise transversally arranged, large, smooth scales. They represent a variety of shapes, a few with broad marginal lobes, length by width measuring 216 - 936 x 58 - 283 μm, with an average of 549 x 166 μm, (Figs 5 B, 6 A). There are also scales in the upper part of polyps of various shapes, sometimes thick and with a medial contraction, often sharp at one end, broad and lobed at the other, which combine to form an inconspicuous and blunt point at the base of a naked tract below each tentacle; measuring 275 - 635 x 77 - 254 μm, with an average of 451 x 151 μm (Figs 5 B, 6 B). Above these points are irregular, elongate or lancet-shaped scales mostly with coarse granules on surface, that are arranged longitudinally around the sides of each naked tract. The scales measure 337 - 650 x 45 - 85 μm with an average 431 x 70 μm (Figs 5 B, 7 A). The scales in the back of tentacles are coarse, of various shapes, mostly flat and lobed, and densely and transversally arranged, measuring 88 - 352 x 19 - 149 μm, with an average of 183 x 55 μm (Figs 5 A, 7 B). The scales in the pinnules are curved at an obtuse angle, and are sometimes thick with a few lobes on their edges; measuring 87 - 196 x 19 - 34 μm, with an average of 152 x 27 μm (Fig. 7 D). The scales of the coenenchyme are generally slipper-shaped, some elongate elliptical, occasionally with indentations in their edges, and measure 138 - 361 x 40 - 87 μm, with an average of 222 x 56 μm (Fig. 7 C). The coenenchyme is thin with no nematozooids.	en	Xu, Yu, Li, Yang, Zhan, Zifeng, Xu, Kuidong (2019): Morphology and phylogenetic analysis of two new deep-sea species of Chrysogorgia (Cnidaria, Octocorallia, Chrysogorgiidae) from Kocebu Guyot (Magellan seamounts) in the Pacific Ocean.
