Pacific Ring of Fire Expedition

Pacific Ring of Fire Expedition. This pinnacle rises to 167 meters below the surface. The coiled up pink masses are basket sea stars (about 50 cm across). A myriad of small fish, probably wrasses, swarm around the top of Pinnacle Cone. Turbulence around the top of the structure attracts all the suspension feeders who feed on plankton.
