#2604, small colony, only a few zooids, with clear tunic, on coralline alga. Five rows of stigmata. Very weak musculature as in Kott (1985) and Monniot C. (1997b).

Wide distribution in tropical Pacific: Indonesia, Gilbert & Solomon Is., Australia, Palau, Wake, Truk, Ponape, Japan, Fiji, Mozambique, New Caledonia, Guam. Considered introduced in Caribbean and Brazil.

Detailed descriptions with illustrations: Kott (1985), Monniot C. (1997b), Goodbody (1994), Monniot F. (2009b). Other references: Monniot C.
