Life History:
-
only plurangial plants reported for the Pacific coast. In England, plurilocular plants are the most dominant, with only an occasional unilocular plant. Isolates bearing plurilocular organs released zooids which settled without fusing and grew into plants like the parent, bearing plurilocular organs. On only one occasion was a unilocular plant observed in culture (Fletcher 1981). In Australia, field plants with plurilocular organs recycled directly in the same manner as the English plants (Clayton 1974)
