Pelagic (Ref. 99821). Found on buoys and floating objects (Refs. 2767, 7484, 85157) and grows on cork lifebelt (Ref. 3534). Also on keel of ships and driftwood. Known as a fouling species (Ref. 81749). Nonselective filter feeder; opportunistically ingests an array of zooplankton and fills its gut with sand when stranded on the beach. Readily ingest large prey up to 5 mm in diameter (Ref. 106994).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
Members of the superorder Thoracica are mostly hermaphroditic. Broadcast spawners, fertilization occurs in the mantle cavity. Life cycle: Eggs hatch into planktonic nauplii and leave the mantle cavity. Afterwards, they undergo six naupliar instars succeded by nonfeeding cypris larva (settling stage) which later metamorphose into adults.
