First record of the fireworm Hermodice carunculata (Annelida, Polychaeta) preying on colonies of the fire coral Millepora alcicornis (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa)

Abstract: First record of the fireworm Hermodice carunculata (Annelida, Polychaeta) preying on colonies of the fire coral Millepora alcicornis (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa). Biota Neotrop. 12(2): http:// www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v12n2/en/abstract?short-communication+bn01712022012Abstract: The polychaete Hermodice carunculata is a voracious predator of several benthic organisms and one of the preferential groups in its diet is that of the cnidarians. This note presents the first record of a fireworm preying on the calcified hyd… Show more

“…Fireworm predation was concentrated on the tips of the branches of black-coral colonies and also focused on an epibiont zoantharian commonly found over black-corals (Figure 4). The same feeding behavior on terminal branches was described for colonies of fire-corals Millepora alcicornis by Pérez and Gomes (2012).…”

“…Rosa et al Vreeland and Lasker, 1989;Pérez and Gomes, 2012). Hermodice carunculata also sporadically feeds on live non-cnidarian organisms, such as algae, sponges, sea cucumbers and starfish, also consuming fish feces and acting as a scavenger (Riera et al 2014;Wolf et al, 2014;Barroso et al, 2016Barroso et al, , 2017.…”

“…Originally described as Aphrodita carunculata based on the shape and development of the olfactory organ caruncle, it was later moved to the genus Hermodice by Kinberg in 1857 (Yáñez-Rivera & Salazar-Vallejo, 2011). Hermodice carunculata displays a high degree of dietary plasticity from detritus to live or injured/dead metazoans such as sponges, zoanthids, scleractinian corals, sea anemones, gorgonians, milleporid hydrocorals, sea urchins, starfish, sea cucumbers and fish (Witman, 1988; Sharp et al ., 2005; Pardo & Amaral, 2006; Pérez & Gomes, 2012; Barroso et al ., 2016, 2017; Schulze et al ., 2017).…”

“…Sinteticamente, os corais-de-fogo possuem forma de crescimento ramificado (Figura 1), formando um complexo tridimensional capaz de abrigar, proteger ou servir de alimento para diversas espécies de crustáceos, poliquetas, peixes, moluscos, corais, dentre outros (Amaral et al, 2008;Garcia et al, 2009;Garcia et al, 2010;Leal et al, 2013;Lewis, 2006;Montano et al, 2020;Pérez & Gomes, 2012). Assim, M. alcicornis é uma espécie cuja presença no meio é imprescindível para o ciclo de vida de uma multitude de organismos nos mais diversos estágios de vida.…”
