Ecology of Bimeria vestita

Main Ref.	Migotto, A.E., A.C. Marques, A.C. Morandini and F.L. da Silveira, 2002
Remarks	Colonial (Ref. 19). Known from tidal inlets, sounds, caves and Shallow Coastal benthic habitats (< 25 m) (Ref. 86643). Found in low spur and groove zones and outer grid on substrates composed of dead corals and gorgonians. In Belize, it is found at depths of 9 to 18 m. As with other hydroids, this species exhibits a pelagic medusoid stage (Ref. 87156). It is epizoic on hydroids, i.e. Sertularella fuegonensis (Ref. 87801).
