Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 10.0 cm OT αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 415)
Massive; flabellate; rising from a narrow base: 1.5 - 10 cm thick. Bright red-orange externally, lighter internally. The margin is rounded, or indented. Compressible, resilient. The surface is rough to be touch to verrucose, with abundant membrane-bearing oscula: 0.2 - 0.5 cm in diameter (Ref. 415). Color range from orange to brown (Ref. 81728).
Maximum thickness: 10 cm (Ref. 415). Maximum depth reported taken from Ref. 128739. Found in coral reefs, usually below 10 m in depth (Ref. 415), and on rocky bottoms (Ref. 83912). It hosts alpheid shrimps, i.e., Synalpheus spp. in its canals (Ref. 86672). Inhabits shallow and mesophotic coral reefs along with coral communities and coralline algae reefs (Ref. 128739).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
Members of the class Demospongiae are hermaphroditic. Life cycle: The zygote develops into parenchymella larva (free-swimming) before settling down on a substrate where it grows into a young sponge.
