A coelenterate (Cnidaria) of the family Mycteriaceae in the class Anthozoa. It has been reported from depths of 50-200m in Sagami Bay and 580-1780m in the North Atlantic. It attaches to the snail shell in which a type of hermit crab lives, and gradually dissolves the shell until the zoanthid attaches directly to the hermit crab. Up to 10 zoanthids gather together to form a colony about 6cm long and 4cm wide. The coenchyma is about 1cm thick and transparent blue, purple-gray, or gray-brown. The contracted zoon is 2-2.5cm tall and has orange tentacles. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
