See text Callogorgia is a genus of deep sea corals that are ideally suited to be habitats for different organisms.

Callogorgia are found at depths ranging from 750-8200 feet in the Gulf of Mexico, Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.

[10] The brittle stars have a commensal relationship with the octocorals, with the ophiurans benefitting by the elevation provided by Callogorgia, allowing them to suspension feed.

[10] The genus Callogorgia Gray is known for its propensity to form habitats for fauna in the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.

[2] Threats to Callogorgia include damage from fishing gear and equipment as they trawl the floor of the ocean, which can change the environment the corals grow in.

[4] Due to being a coral, they grow very slowly, therefore, any change affecting their rate of growth has profound effects and can linger for decades.
