( FIG. 3C) Material examined: QM G337590. HunterCMR, Australia, New South Wales, 32°34 ′30.0 ″S–32°37 ′53.8 ″S, 153°08 ′31.2 ″E–153°09 ′42.1 ″E, depth 1006–1036 m, beam trawl, coll. M. Ekinson RV Investigator, Cruise IN2017_V03, 3 June 2017, fixed in 99.5% EtOH. Description: External morphology. Circa 40 cylindrical polyps connected by strongly developed light beige coenenchyme on stalks of hexactinellid sponges ( Hyalonemasp.) in preserved specimen. Colony covered upper part of the stalks, but not around the spiculous anchor. Contracted preserved polyps 1.0–3.0 mm in height, 1.5–3.5 mmin diameter.

On the other hand, numbers of tentacles and mesenteries were the same between QM G337590 and the examined specimens of E. fatuus. Therefore, we here preliminarily identify the examined specimen as Epizoanthusaff. fatuus.
