Ougift goat (English name) Euplexaura erecta
A coelenterate (cnidaria) of the family Myrtle family in the class Anthozoa. It is found south of Sagami Bay, and grows on the seabed at depths of 60 to 200 meters. The branches are about 5 mm in diameter, and branch out at almost right angles from the thicker branch to form fan-shaped colonies 25 to 30 cm high. The coenchyma is pale reddish purple or coral-colored and thick, with barrel-shaped bone fragments scattered within. The polyp can be completely withdrawn into the coenchyma. The central bony axis is blackish and hard, and is difficult to bend. The bivalve mussel, a Japanese oyster, may be attached to the top of the branch by its byssus.
