Remarks Colonial (Ref. 19). Known from tidal inlets and sheltered areas of bays, including mangrove shores (Ref. 86643). Also found in Carrie Bow Cay, Belize, in reef crest, sand trough, outer ridge and fore-reef slopes on substrates composed of dead corals and gorgonians at depths of 0 to 31m. As with other hydroids, this species exhibits a pelagic medusoid stage (Ref. 87156).
