Distribution and habitat preferences
They inhabit shaded vertical surfaces and caverns down to huge depths. Orange-cup corals often dominate tropical habitats not occupied by other coral species, such as wrecks and cryptic reef habitats. They are also found in very cold water throughout the world. (Wikipedia)
