Material examined.
Several specimens on dead coral rubble at
7 m
(sample CBC-KF 1011) (
PCZL
).
Remarks.
This is a gregarious species very common in the Caribbean, reaching about
30 mm
in length, of which more than half is represented by the crown. The species seems to be confined to the West Indies and Caribbean. Good descriptions and figures are available in
Knight-Jones and Perkins (1998)
and Tovar-
Hernández and Salazar-Vallejo (2006)
