Dear people,
The syllid Procaerea fasciata isvery common on one species of
hydroid along the coats of Morehead City, North Carolina. I have also
abserved it on a different species of hydroid down in the Bahamas.
Additionally, I have collected it from a local sponge on occasion.
Although I have seen a few refernces about its habits, I have not found
any detailed work on its ecology. Am I just looking in the wrong
places? Has anyone worked on this animal enough as to give me an
indication of whether this association with hydroids has any pattern or
significance?
