Ecology. Shelf species, collected at depths from 20 (Naumov & Stepanjants 1972) to 640 m (Peña Cantero et al. 2002). On bottoms of mud, mud with stones, stones, rocks with stones, and bottoms of hydroids, sponges and algae (Naumov & Stepanjants 1972; Peña Cantero et al. 2002). Epilithic on pebbles (Peña Cantero 2008) and epibiotic on sponges and bryozoans (Naumov & Stepanjants 1972; Peña Cantero et al. 2002), tubes of polychaetes (Peña Cantero et al. 2002; Peña Cantero 2008), dead gorgonians (Peña Cantero 2006; 2008; 2010;2010) and hydrozoans (Peña Cantero et al. 2002; Peña Cantero 2006; 2008). Used as a substratum by other species of hydroids (Peña Cantero et al. 2002; Peña Cantero 2008; 2010). Gonothecae: January (Peña Cantero et al. 2002).

Distribution. Circum-Antarctic (Peña Cantero et al. 2002). West Antarctica: Elephant Island (Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 1995), the South Shetland Islands (Peña Cantero 2006; 2008) and the south and east coasts of the Weddell Sea (Peña Cantero et al. 2002). East Antarctica: Adélie Coast (Naumov & Stepanjants 1972).
