The colonies are shaped as crusty lumps, are somewhat transparent and can be grey, yellow or even orange. On the Belgian coast, since 2000, the species is found in the marina of Zeebrugge, where it grows on ropes, quays, pontoons and other hard substrates.  [details] Diet: plankton feeder [details] Dimensions: colonies up to 25 mm thick [details] Distribution: Bay of Fundy to Cape Hatteras [details] Distribution: An Arctic-Boreal species [details] Distribution: deep water off Rhode Island and Cape Cod; lower intertidal zone in Bay of Fundy and northward [details] Habitat: Known from rocky shores. [details] Habitat: infralittoral and circalittoral of the Gulf and estuary [details] Reproduction: hermaphroditic; eggs shed and fertilized in the water [details] Taxonomy: Order: Enterogona, Suborder: Aplousobranchia, according to Trott (2004). [details]
