Habitat -- on jetty piles and in sheltered water; older colonies often partly overgrown by soft sponge. Seasonality -- colonies grow and become fertile in autumn and winter. Distribution -- world-wide including southern Australia. May have been introduced to Australia as a fouling organism on colonial era ships.
