Cladoconus sp.

Thanks to Alan Goldstein for the Identification

Discussion:

The coral appears to have grown around or attached
itself to a crinoid stem.

Viewer Comments:

The coral is most certainly a species of Cladoconus.
Unfortunately my book on Choutou and related corals
does not mention any species of Cladoconus.
