| Notes |
Diet: suspension feeding. Captures minute particles of food on their collars and ingesting them. [details] Dimensions: Height: 10-20 mm; Diameter to 1.5 mm [details] Distribution: Acadian, North side of Cape Cod to Newfoundland. [details] Habitat: benthic [details] Morphology: Order: Leucosolenida according to Trott (2004).. colour white to pale yellow [details] Predators: generally for group, most predators (crabs and other invertebrates), find sponges distasteful either because of a presumably offensive odor or because of their spicules. Predators do include littorinid snails and nudibranchs. [details] Reproduction: Asexual reproduction by buds and gemmules and sexual reproduction (internally) by eggs and sperm; free-swimming cilated larvae (in general, most species are believed to be hermaphroditic but may not produce male and female gametes simultaneously).
