Bubblegum Coral. Species Overview. Living at depths of 200-1300 m (650-4200 ft), this sea fan can grow to a height of 6 meters (20 feet). Paragorgia arborea is a cold-water branching gorgonian fan.

The ocean quahog is large bivalve that can reach a height of up to 10 cm. It grows rather rapidly during the first years, but the growth slows down after it reaches sexual maturity at the age of about 20 years, at the size of 6 to 7 cm. The ocean quahog can live to a very old age; the oldest individual measured in Icelandic waters was estimated to be about 400 years old. This makes the ocean quahog the longest lived animal on earth. The ocean quahog lives buried in the sediment so only a small opening of the shell is visible.
