Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Minimum depth from Ref. 101096. Epizoic, subtidal on hard bottom (Ref. 106854). Found in dead coral heads and under rocks. Frequently associated with crinoids and occasionally with alcyonarians (Ref. 69553). Feeds on the mucus produced by feather stars and being a commensal, they also protect the feather star from its predators (Ref. 85383).
