Preliminary studies on diversity of the octocoral fauna in shallow waters (down to 55 m depth) of Costa Rica have brought to light 56 species of octocorals, 26 species in the Caribbean, and 30 species in the Pacific. According to field obser- vations, 50% of the species of octocorals from shallow waters has been surveyed, and nothing is known about the deepwater fauna.
