Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Sessile; depth range 0 - 120 m (Ref. 865). Temperate
Worldwide.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 30.0 cm WD male/unsexed; (Ref. 865)
Expose portion appears as yellow papillae; the rest of the body buried in substrate, i.e., individual cells secret material that fragments small pieces of the sponges into the substrate (Ref. 865). Bores into abalone, oyster and barnacle shells (Ref. 865).
