Abstract/ Summary
Exploration of the New England and Corner Rise Seamounts produced four new species of chrysogorgild octocorals with the spiral iridogorgiid growth form. Three species are described as new in the genus iridogorgia and one is described in the new genus Rhodaniridogoigia. Both genera have representatives in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Iridogorgia magnispiralis sp. nov., is one of the largest octocorals encountered in the deep sea and seems to be widespread in the Atlantic.
