Known from shallow coastal benthic habitats (< 25m), deeper coastal substrates (25-100m) of the offshore fore-reef slope, Banks and upper slope (> 100m), tops of Challenger and Argus seamounts (Ref. 86643). Also found in Carrie Bow Cay, Belize, in patch reefs, mangrove islands, Thalassia sp. beds, reef crest, low spur and groove zones, sand trough, outer ridge and fore-reef slopes on algae, Thalassia sp. blades, mangrove roots, floating Sargassum sp. and substrates composed of dead corals and gorgonians at depths of 0 to 31m. As with other hydroids, this species exhibits a pelagic medusoid stage (Ref. 87156).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
Reproduction occurs only in hydroid stage (Ref. 1663, p. 21). Gonochoristic. Sperm swim from the male gonophore to fertilize the eggs held on female gonophores. Fertilized eggs develop into ciliated planula larvae, swim and crawl; metamorphoses into a hydroid (Ref. 1663).
