		Distributional and phylogenetic data support the hypothesis that the sea pens first differentiated in the shallow-water tropics and then subsequently dispersed and diversified in temperate and polar regions, and to all ocean depths as well as the shallow-water tropics.
		It has therefore been postulated by Williams (1994: 734) that the sea pens as a group initially differentiated in the shallow waters of tropical oceans and have subsequently diversified and dispersed to all depths of the temperate and polar regions, as well as the tropics (Figure 1 and 2).
