Deep-water corals sampled from the RV Falkor voyage FK20150301, Perth Canyon, Western Australia (2015)

Deep-water scleractinian corals were collected in 2015 during cruise FK20150301 (McCulloch et al., 2017), from within and around the Perth Canyon (31◦42′S – 32◦10′ S and 114◦42′E - 115◦05′ E) using a Sub-Atlantic Comanche Remotely Operated Vehicle launched from the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s R/V Falkor. The samples were collected from five dive sites between water depths of 675 m and 1788 m.
