Umbellula pomona is a species of deep-water sea pen discovered in 2020 in the Mar del Plata Submarine Canyon.[1] This species is part of Umbellula, a genus of marine cnidarians.

Umbellula pomona contains sclerites that differentiate it from other species of Umbellula lacking them. These sclerites vary in shape and size, between rod and spindle like, depending on the location in the body.[2]
