Rhabdopleura recondita is a sessile hemichordate. It is a suspension feeder that secretes tubes on the ocean floor. It is found in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas.[1]
Distribution
Specimens of R. recondita were collected off the coast of Lecce Province in southeastern Italy.[2]
Bryozoan hosts
Beli et al. (2018) found R. recondita living on bryozoan hosts, namely Myriapora truncata, Schizoretepora serratimargo, Celleporina caminata, and Reptadeonella violacea.[2]
