Lissoclinum punctatum Kott, 1977 Fig. 2D, F

Specimens.

MZB. Asc. 00004

Habitat.

Shaded side of dead coral skeletons in reef flat.

Remarks.

Colonies were irregularly shaped sheets. Globular spicules (Fig. 1D, inset) form a capsule-like aggregation enveloping each zooid. Prochloron was distributed within the common cloacal cavities and tunic. As reported in Hirose et al. (1996), algal cells in the tunic were contained in the tunic cells of the host ascidian (Fig. 1F).
