REMARKS. This species has cylindrical column with diameter1.5–2 times greater that the height. The column has patches of orange or red and white or beige. The tentacles are numerous, more than 100, plain dull rose. The diameter of the tentacular crown is up to 10 cm. 31 specimens were collected, 39 photographically documented at 29–663 m on the Vulcanologov Massif and on the continental slope from Olyutorsky Gulf (Kamchatka) to Cape Navarin (Chukotka). On the Vulcanologov Massif the species was recorded only on the northern top of the Piip Volcano at 350–382 m. Other photographed and all collected specimens were taken on the shelf and continental slope of the western part of the Bering Sea , where this species sometimes found directly on methane seeps, on pebbles among settlements of bivalve mollusks of the genus Calyptogena and bacterial mats .
