FIGURE 4. Examples of aberrant colony form in Tridentisis candelabrum. A. two-node offset of trident, on rift zone ridge north of St. Rogatien Bank, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, 1963 m depth, EX1504L2 Dive 3. B,C. one-node offset of trident, on Mendelsohn Seamount, Musician Seamounts, Pacific Ocean, 1651 m depth, EX1708 Dive 19. A fragment of this colony was collected and sequenced (USNM 1467653; GenBank Acc. # OR805796). D. asymmetrical branch growth, Explorer Ridge, Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, Pacific Ocean, 1754 m depth, EX1605L3 Dive 15. E,F. asymmetrical branch growth and anomalous branch "tangle", Karin Ridge, Johnston Atoll Unit of Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Pacific Ocean, 1897 m depth, EX1504L4 Dive 9. G. apparent failure of growth of one side of the colony, Wake Atoll Unit of Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Pacific Ocean, 1972 m depth, EX1606 Dive 7. H. axis bifurcation one node below trifurcation on one side resulting in branches overlapping and developing out of the plane of the candelabra, Johnston Atoll Unit of Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Pacific Ocean, 1364 m depth, EX1706 Dive 13. I. aberrant branching of vertical branch and one node offset of the trident, Wake Atoll Unit of Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Pacific Ocean, 1982 m depth, EX1606 Dive 3.
