Benthic fauna from in and around Visakhapatnam has been studied by: Radhakrishna (1964); Sudarsan (1983);
Adiseshasai (1992) and Vijayakumaran (2003). Previous records have mentioned the collection of specimens of the sea
pen genus Cavernularia Valenciennes, 1850 from these waters (Radhakrishna 1964) but species of the closely related (or
perhaps synonymous) genus Cavernulina Kuekenthal & Broch, 1911 have not been identified until now.
Pennatulaceans are quite common in benthic communities from a depth of a few metres to more than 6200 and
thirty-four genera in fourteen families of living pennatulaceans are currently recognised (Williams 2011).
