Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age

Könsmognad: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm

Short description Morfologi

Vivid red. Thickly branching, up to 30 cm in height (Ref. 89939).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Found in patchy assemblages. Suspension feeder; preyed on by starfishes. Derivatives have antitumor and antiviral properties, thus are being tested as potential anti-cancer drugs (Ref. 89939).

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