Abstract

Many initiatives have come up to investigate the fauna around India. Due to accidental sighting and dislocation caused due to fishing and forming a part of the trash brought ashore is how the organisms are located. During regular sampling carried out from Mangamaripeta fish landing centre of Visakhapatnam, delicate shallow-water sea pens were collected and investigated. No previous records are available pertaining to the presence of these animals from this area and the species have not been identified from these waters. This report identifies and describes the species as Cavernularia malabarica Fowler, 1894 for the first time from these waters.
