Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Occurs on hard corals and hard substrates at depths down to 40 m. Filter feeds on plankton. Associated with shrimps and a lobster (Refs. 800, 100851, 102275) (Ref. 800).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the class Crinoidea are gonochoric. During spawning, the pinnule walls rupture and the eggs and sperms are shed into the seawater. Life cycle: Embryos elongate into free-swimming larvae (doliolaria) which later sink to the bottom where they metamorphose into stalked sessile crinoid.
