According to Humann and Deloach Reef Coral p164 this is an invader species to the Gulf of Mexico. They still list it as rare, but this picture (the best one of several because its at least in focus) was taken on a rig off the Texas coast. We stopped there on the return trip from the Flower gardens.
The turtle picture come up first in the album. Open the album and the coral pic is next.
This rig was also covered in the White Telesto (?)
