Ecology of Celleporaria sibogae

Main Ref.	Colin, P.L. and C. Arneson, 1995
Remarks	Found in reefs. Colonies are encrusting (Ref. 102612). Associated with the hydroid Zanclea divergens, which lives below its skeleton (Ref. 102611). Suspension feeder (Ref. 68823).

Associations

Ref.	Pantos, O. and O. Hoegh-Guldberg, 2011
Associations	colony-forming/symphorism; symbiosis;
Associated with	Zanclea divergens.
Association remarks	The hydroid extends its perisarc-free colony beneath the exoskeleton of the bryozoan without changing the host exoskeleton.
