Octocorals and anemones are also adept at colonizing novel habitats and can quickly increase both structural and species diversity in an area (Brace and Quicke, 1986; Perkol-Finkel and Benayahu, 2005; Perkol-Finkel et al., 2005; Hiscock et al., 2010).

These bleaching events are caused by increased sea surface temperature of as little 1C above the physiological upper limit of the symbiosis, and coral bleaching is predicted to be the summer norm by 2050 (Harrison et al., 2011; Van Hooidonk et al., 2016). Some species of octocoral are also grown for the ornamental aquarium trade, but many restoration target species are too difficult for the average home aquarist due to habitat and feeding requirements. 224, 5567. What Are the Threats Facing Octocorals and Anemones? Dis. Mar. (1986). They are named after a terrestrial flower due to their radially symmetric appearance and many tentacles. The tentacular crown has at least 6 rings of tentacles with a mouth in the center. Octocorals and anemones are benthic Cnidarians that share a wide variety of physical traits, most prominently that neither form solid skeletal structures, and both have strong defense mechanisms. Biol. Zookeys 2017, 115. Though implementation of MPAs has increased C. rubrum population density and mean colony size, poaching is still a problem and may require additional interventions (Tsounis, 2005; Tsounis et al., 2006; Bruckner, 2009; Montero-Serra et al., 2018).

Coral Reefs also provide habitat, spawning, and nursery grounds for economically important fish species 5. For corals, this method is usually implemented when natural recruitment is expected to be slow or to fail, even though the water quality, substratum, and other factors are appropriate for the target species (Edwards and Clark, 1999). Ecol. Disease is a major threat to stony corals, especially in the Caribbean, but less is known for octocorals (Ruiz-Moreno et al., 2012; Slattery et al., 2013). Octocorals and anemones are especially vulnerable to habitat damage, both natural and anthropogenic. SIMoN: Sanctuary Integrated Monitoring Network. April 05, 2013 xanthogrammica. Garrabou, J., and Harmelin, J.-G. (2002). Octocorals and anemones are soft-bodied, although octocoral tissues do contain calcified spicules and/or axes that increase tissue stiffness (Koehl, 1982; Fabricius and Alderslade, 2001; Sethmann and Wrheide, 2008; Fabricius, 2011). This works well for species that have had limited population degradation and/or are have a strong supply of larvae. Population impacts of collecting sea anemones and anemonefish for the marine aquarium trade in the Philippines. (2016). ("Anthopleura xanthogrammica: Giant green anemone", 2013; Batchelder and Gonor, 1981; Brough and McBirney, 1998; Sebens, 1984), Giant green anemones do not typically move far from the spot in which they settle after their larval stage; their home ranges do not extend beyond their bodies. In fact, octocorals may take advantage of the opportunity by growing on exposed coral skeleton left behind by such outbreaks, and this may result in a phase shift to octocoral dominated state (Endean and Stablum, 1971; Norstrm et al., 2009).

Overall, the reproductive method (sexual vs. asexual), local adaptations, and genetic diversity of source populations should be considered when choosing how to source propagules for restoration (Baums, 2008; Edwards et al., 2010).

In the GBR, octocorals can also comprise up to 45% of coral cover on individual reefs, while in the Caribbean, octocoral abundance and density can be even higher (Snchez et al., 1998; Australian Institute of Marine Science [AIMS], 2018; Epstein and Kingsford, 2019). 3, 7994.

Cyclones can impact octocorals and anemones through wave-induced tearing or shearing and inundation with fresh water from rains (Van Woesik et al., 1995; Fabricius and Death, 2008). In plant restoration ecology, the roles of herbivory and competition are widely studied, and have significant and often manageable impacts on restoration of both species and habitats (e.g., Llewellyn and Shaffer, 1993; Opperman and Merenlender, 2000; Sweeney et al., 2002; Midoko-Iponga et al., 2005). Both of these anemones have separate sexes, and broadcast spawn gametes for external fertilization and development during predictable annual spawning . Six groups of octocorals were surveyed during this event, with only one group unimpacted, four groups partially impacted, and one group totally bleached or dead (Van Woesik et al., 1995).

There are many challenges to octocoral restoration, not the least of which is the difficulty in setting restoration parameters.

Instead, resilience or susceptibility within this large group is likely to be site and species specific.

Collection of octocorals and anemones is often unrestricted in contrast to restrictions on the scleractinian coral trade, such as in Tonga and Indonesia (Dee et al., 2014). Reproduction in giant green anemone occurs through external fertilization. For example, if a temperature-sensitive species has been extirpated from a reef that regularly experiences heat waves, restoration to this area would be risky. This may be due, in part, to their soft and flexible bodies; though a detriment when entangled, they will bend instead of break when kicked or touched. In temperate waters, octocorals are critical habitat for the endangered Whites Seahorse and host epibenthic food sources such as amphipods for other protected sygnathids (Harasti et al., 2014; Harasti, 2016; Corry et al., 2018).

Despite this, some octocorals and anemones naturally grow by clonal means, including budding and fission, and this method may result in naturally low diversity and an increased proportion of locally adapted genotypes and increase local adaptations (McFadden, 1991; Dahan and Benayahu, 1997; Barneah et al., 2002; Baums, 2008; Sherman and Ayre, 2008; Scott et al., 2014; Scott, 2017).
