Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Present on rocky surfaces in the shallow subtidal, with occasional intertidal specimens under overhanging rocks. Lives in wave-sheltered, sediment-rich environments. Usually grows intertwined with hydroids and algae and may be common in estuaries. May occur in areas sheltered from strong tidal flow through to tidal sounds (Ref. 123733). Main food and feeding type based on another species of the same genus; to be replaced with a better reference (Refs. 96418, 96471).

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

Members of the class Demospongiae are hermaphroditic. Life cycle: The zygote develops into parenchymella larva (free-swimming) before settling down on a substrate where it grows into a young sponge.
