Short description Morfologi

Girdle: moderate width; color, buff to brown. Girdle: Randomly covered with minute, separated spicules with 10-12 thin hairs which are also located at suture and end valves; in addition there are scattered coarse bristles bearing smaller secondary bristles.

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Depth based on occurrence record; to be replaced with better reference. Often found where there is an active current flow or tidal wash; on the undersides of boulders. May be covered with encrusting sponges, colonial tunicates, coral, bryozoans, and/or encrusting coralline algae; usually not found in association with M. ciliata (Ref. 290).

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

Members of the class Polyplacophora are mostly gonochoric. Life cycle: Eggs hatch into lecitotrophic planktonic trocophore larvae (no veliger stage) which later metamorphose and settle on the bottom as young adults.
