Cold-water corals build isolated and clustered carbonate mound ridges, several kilometres long and wide and up to 380m high at the Southwest Rockall Trough margin. Photo and video observations as well as coring have shown that mainly the upper mound flanks and summits are covered with a thriving living coral cover and associated fauna.
