Comment(s) on data
Fransen (2002, Zool. Verh.) - Hosts - In ascidians; Styela whiteleggei (Herdman, 1899) (cf. Bruce, 1973); Pyura momus (Savigny, 1816) (cf. Monniot, Monniot & Laboute, 1991; present study); Rhopalaea crassa (Herdman, 1880) (present study); Polycarpa spec. (present study). Some specimens were not collected from an ascidian host and could have been freeliving. The Indonesian specimens described by Holthuis (1952) were collected at 45 m from a coral bottom; the specimen from Nosy Bé, Madagascar (Bruce, 1987a, 1987b) was ‘captured free, from coral rock and 25 m’; and the specimens from southern Oman (Holthuis, 1986) were found “under boulders at about mid tide level’.
