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.
