Active during the day and at night, sits on hard corals or gorgonians (Ref. 800). On coral heads and pinnacles at a depth of less than 10 m; rubble and sediment bottom (Ref. 100368). 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.
