Ecology -- hydrorhiza embedded in purplish sheets of the shallow water alcyonacean Erythropodium hicksoni growing on rocks. Colonies regenerate annually in warmer months from the hydrorhiza permanently embedded in the alcyonacean. Distribution -- common in Port Phillip, Western Port and in sheltered ocean and bays across southern Australia. Also Recherche, WA.
