Discussion

  • kap_R was fixed at 0.95/2 because of hermaphroditism

Facts

  • obligate symbiont of Rosy Feather-star Antedon bifida; one youngs are parasites, older one commensals (Ref: EeckJang1997)
  • pinnular stage lasts 55 d (fixed in pinnular grooves, generally close to the calyx, causing some deformation), vagile phase 135 d (free moving) (Ref: EeckJang1997)
  • hermaphroditic (Ref: EeckJang1997)
