- FIGURE 4. Farrea bowerbanki n. sp. and Tretodictyum reiswigi n. sp. at the Cassidaigne canyon (Provence, NW Mediterranean), in areas exposed to industrial red mud discharge for decades. A: The highest density of F. bowerbanki observed so far, growing on (sub-fossil?) shells of the bivalve Neopycnodonte zibrowii, 580 m. In the center, the cold-water scleractinian coral Madrepora oculata. B: An isolated specimen of F. bowerbanki, ca 30 cm in diameter, and small specimens of T. reiswigi, at 536 m. C: High density of live T. reiswigi with a dead skeleton in the center, ca 480 m. D: Live specimens of T. reiswigi and F. bowerbanki at 521 m. The one on the lower left is apparently partly dead, as the distal parts accumulate red mud. A, B, D: Photos courtesy of COMEX S.A.
