- I wonder what predators it has.
It is assessed as having the conservation status of least concern by IUCN. In June 2018, the New Zealand Department of Conservation classified R. pacifica as “not threatened” with the qualifier “data poor” under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.
So, feeding the threat classification system with poor data, makes it classify the specimen as “not threatened”?
Yeah, it’s strange to label it as “not threatened” when there is a “data deficient” label available.
It appears that the “data deficient” label is avoided as much as possible:

There are nice creatures in the Ocean, like eg. an 55m long toxic Worm (Lineus longissimus). If you know which creature you can find in the Ocean you prefer to make vacation on the mountain
The other 95% is gray mud, no life larger than multi-celled critters.
