Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Found on a rock substrate covered with sand and algae (Ref. 101028). Also found on coral branches among macroalgae and seagrass bed. Typically cryptic during the day, although some were found exposed (Ref. 100368). Perches on a small peak at night (Ref. 97449). Suspension feeder (Ref. 68823).

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.
