Are sessile (fixed) organisms that secrete white calcareous tubes on hard surfaces such as rocks, mangroves, shells, and man-made structure like ships’ hulls and docks.
固定的生物，牠們在堅硬的表面（例如岩石、紅樹林、貝殼、船身和碼頭等人造結構）上分泌白色鈣質管
When attached to the bottom of the ships and underwater structures like docks and water inlets, it corrodes the structures and thus it is considered as “biofouling” agent.
當牠們附著在船底、碼頭和進水口等水下結構時，會增加這些結構的表面腐蝕，因此被認為是污着生物（Biofouling Organisms）
Used as a model organism for studies of biofouling mechanism.
