Könsmognad: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 5.0 cm TL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 101432)

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Occurs from the low intertidal down to the subtidal along the Chilean and Peruvian coast (Ref. 381 and 1135). Isolated individuals or forming patches of matrices of barrel-like individuals with hard outer tunic cemented together on the substratum (Ref. 382); Solitary; a sessile, filter-feeder (Ref. 1135).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

A digonic hermaphrodite with separate male and female gonads that free-spawn externally to fertilized gametes, which leads to the development of swimming tadpole larvae (Ref. 2264).
