Short description Morfologi

Forms large colonies, commonly 200 to 300 cm in diameter and composed of anastomosed vertical plates, which may reach 200 cm in height. In life, colonies have a characteristics light brown, color, with white growing edges. If touched, a sharp sting can be felt when coming into contact with soft skin (Ref. 269).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Forms large colonies, commonly 200 to 300 cm in diameter and composed of anastomosed vertical plates, which may reach 200 cm in height (Ref. 269). Depth based from occurrence (Ref. 8294); to be replaced with a better reference. Most common in shallow to intermediate depths (Ref. 269).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Anthoathecata are mostly colonial A-form hydroids. Life cycle: The zygote develops into planula inside the gonophore and is later released as an actinula which metamorphoses into polyp stage.
