Associations

Ref. Dawson, M.N., 2004
Associations colony-forming/symphorism; mutualism;
Associated with sponges (Ref. 101748).
Association remarks Polyps may form colonies within horny sponges, protecting it from physical disturbance and predation as well as access to food from the sponge. It benefits the sponge from the cleaning of water done by the polyp and saves metabolic cost from building its own skeleton through the fusion of its fibers with the theca of the polyp (Ref. 101748).
