| 'It lives on rocky bottoms, where it forms a tangle of branches that tend to accumulate sediment, making it a fairly unattractive "weed" species' (Shine et al. 2003) | |||||
| SP-XIII | None | Economic Impact | Aesthetic | ||
| 'These masses of hydroid tend to make the rocky surfaces of the reef less visible, and tend to make the reef look 'dirty'. (Shine et al. 2003) | |||||
