Material examined.
CAGoM-0075, Mad 3, 7 m, 27-05-2015, leg. L. Palomino-Alvarez; CAGoM-0153, Lar 2, 10 m, 07-10-2015, leg. L. Palomino-Alvarez.
Remarks.
With a global distribution, D. granulatum is known to rapidly colonize artificial substrates ( Oren and Benayahu 1998), so it may be widely introduced, but its origin is unknown. In the southern Gulf of Mexico colonies were found on corals, rocks and algae near shore.
