AB We sequenced the complete mitogenomes of two eastern tropical Pacific gorgonians, Muricea crassa and Muricea purpurea, using NGS technologies. The assembled mitogenomes of M. crassa and M. purpurea were 19,586 bp and 19,358 bp in length, with a GC-content ranging from 36.0% to 36.1%, respectively. The two mitogenomes had the same gene arrangement consisting of 14 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs and one tRNA. Mitogenome identity was 98.5%. The intergenic regions between COB and NAD6 and between NAD5 and NAD4 were polymorphic in length with a high level of nucleotide diversity. Based on a concatenated dataset of 14 mitochondrial protein-coding genes we inferred the phylogeny of 26 octocoral species.
