Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Disk diameter: 2.0 to 2.5 cm. Found in waters less than 30m, among rocks and boulders. Associated with coral communities. Hides beneath rocks and in reef cavities (Ref. 129602). Inhabits reef areas and can be found between the branches of live and dead corals or in rubble areas. Feeds on detritus.

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

Members of the class Ophiuroidea are mostly gonochoric, others are protandric. Fertilization is external. Brooding is common, bursae is used as brood chambers where the embryos develop into juveniles and later crawl out from the bursal slits. Life cycle: Embryos hatch into free-swimming planktotrophic larvae and later metamorphose into tiny brittle stars which sink down the bottom where they grow into adult form.
