Paratype: Kelvin Seamount, New England Seamount Chain, specimen KEL 209-1, collected 16 July 2003,
Paratype: Rehoboth Seamount, New England Seamount Chain, specimen REH 101-1, collected 28 August 2005.
In the report "Towards a revision of the bamboo corals (Octocorallia): Part 4, delineating the family Keratoisididae," two additional colonies, KEL 406-1 measuring 1 meter high and 1.5 meters wide, and colony KEL 408-1 measuring approximately 2 to 3 meters long, are described.
The New England Seamounts are a chain of over twenty extinct underwater volcanic mountains (seamounts) and are located off the coast of Massachusetts in the western Atlantic Ocean.
