Info

Info von André Luty: Pseudosimnia-Arten sind Korallenparasiten, die das Gewebe ihres Wirtes fressen.
Die abgebildete Art fand ich regelmäßig in Lemnalia-Arten z.B. aus Kenia und Indonesien. Mitunter finden sich sogar gallertartige, an Schimmelpilze erinnernde Eigelege.

Ohne ihren Wirt überleben die ca. 1 cm Schalenlänge erreichenden Arten nur kurz.
