The colonies incrust diverse substrates: stones, shells, sponges. The colour is cream and a red ring circles the siphons a characteristic of the species (Fig. 28 B). The zooids are easily extracted from the tunic. The branchial sac has 10 to 11 rows of stigmata. The stomach has a coma-like caecum. The male and female gonads are not simultaneously developed.
S. rubra is very common worldwide in tropical waters; its colour in life is characteristic but disappears after fixation.
