Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Inhabits low littoral areas. This is a fouling species. Found in sheltered rocky shores (Ref. 125338). Part of both epibenthic and arboreal communities in mangrove areas (Ref. 128397).

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