Anthogorgia ramamoorthii Fernando, 2011 (species status uncertain)

Anthogorgia ramamoorthii Fernando, 2011: 33–34, pl. 11, fig. 2–2c (Cuddalore); Fernando et al. 2017: 63, pl. 24, fig. 2–2c (Cuddalore).

Opinion: This species does occur in the region.

Justification:

Literature analysis: The descriptions of the Indian material by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) are identical, but without a detailed description of the sclerites and close-up images of the polyps it is not possible to recognise this species, and without a revision of the genus it would probably be impossible to assess its validity.
