Lophelia pertusa is a widespread colonial cold-water coral which can form large three-dimensional habitats for benthic communities. Although it is known to construct an aragonite skeleton with Select a map. Click on the map to enlarge. Consulter le plan (PDF 522.2 ko) Discover the Île-de-France RER map.

The cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa forms patches of bushy growths composed of a network of anastomosing branches that grow into thickets, coppices and eventually reefs under favourable conditions. The morphology and size of reefs are highly variable but reefs may be circular, dome-shaped or elongate, forming distinct patches or arranged in lines of 'islands' along the edges of the Lophelia pertusa is a reef building, deep water coral, but it does not contain zooxanthellae, the symbiotic algae which lives inside most tropical reef building corals. [6] Lophelia lives at a temperature range from about 4-12 °C (39-54 °F) and at depths between 80 metres (260 ft) and over 3,000 metres (9,800 ft), but most commonly at Lophelia pertusa is a framework-forming cold-water coral that supports numerous ecosystem services in the deep ocean. These corals are threatened by increasing anthropogenic impacts to the deep Among the cold-water corals, Lophelia pertusa (= Desmophyllum pertusum, Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the most studied. In the Atlantic Ocean, this species shows a widespread distribution (Tong et al The biology of Lophelia pertusa (Linnaeus, 1758) and other deep-water reef-forming corals and impacts from human activities.
