Habitat.
Intertidal to subtidal (
20.5 m
, Sun
et al
. 2015). Temperate waters, on natural substrates: rocks, sponges, weed & ascidians on boulders,
Ecklonia radiata
holdfasts, in mixed red algae, orange solitary corals, dead corals, bryozoan colonies, in calcareous algae and
Idanthyrsus
sabellariid tubes, platform rock with gullies, surf swept rock-flat and lagoon, under ledge, underneath boulders and in crevices in rock pools; on man-made substrates: woodchip berth, subtidal wharf pile, breakwater, and on hull of SS “Bonthorp” (Sun
et al
. 2015).
Distribution.
Hydroides
cf.
amri
is recorded only from
Hawaii
.
Remarks.
Hydroides amri
sensu stricto
was collected in both natural and man-made substrates, including the hull of a ship (Sun
et al
. 2015); this species has potential to be introduced to other temperate and subtropical regions by ships.
Sun
et al
. (2015: 20) suggested that the specimens recorded from
Hawaii
as
Hydroides
cf.
brachyacanthus
by Bastida-Zavala & ten
Hove (2003)
, probably correspond, morphologically, with
H. amri
, but also recommended additional studies to decide if
Hydroides
cf.
brachyacantha
from
Hawaii
is in fact
H. amri
. Re-examining the morphological data of the Hawaiian specimens, we can confirm that the characters of the opercula, mainly the three dorsal bigger spines, as well as the number of radioles, tube and thorax measurements, are more similar to
H. amri
than to
H. brachyacantha
sensu stricto
(
Table 1
).
Sun
et al
. (2016b)
found that
H. amri
comprises two non-sister clades, and based on their genetic lineage described a new species from
South
Australia
,
Hydroides nikae
Sun, Wong, Tovar-Hernández, Williamson & Kupriyanova, 2016b
. The same may happen with
H.
cf.
amri
from
Hawaii
, but only a phylogenetic analysis could solve their identity, something that is out of the scope of this work.
Straughan (1969)
mentioned “Smaller spines have a blunt tooth projecting from the outside of the curve”, a character that coincides with the description of
Hydroides amri
.
Bailey-Brock (1976
;
1987
) recorded
H. brachyacantha
from the
Hawaiian Islands
and, at least in her work of 1987 (
Fig.
3
.II.189a–b) reproduces the figures of
Dew
(1959,
Fig. 7
)
from
Australia
.
In
our opinion all historical records from
Hawaii
belong to
H.
cf.
amri
.
