Map A1 Distribution of gorgonian "red whip" forms. Includes species that are predominantly seen as a whip rather than a branched colony as well as several species that, while usually branched, do frequently display a slender, whip-like body type. Ranges determined from all material examined, with emphasis on specimens housed in SBMNH collection.
