从东北大西洋的豪猪海区记录到三种带状珊瑚属。它们都与大闸蟹共生。描述了这两个深水物种的配子发生过程，发现它们与其他珊瑚虫的配子发生过程相似。据预测，这两种深海物种都有浮游营养型幼虫，尽管卵母细胞的直径在更深的地方要小得多。这两个物种都在不断繁殖。建立了两对共生关系的增长模式，这表明伙伴关系在增长过程中不会中断。
Three species of the zoanthid genus Epizoanthus Gray are recorded from the Porcupine Seabight, northeast Atlantic. All live commensally with pagurid crabs. The process of gametogenesis is described for the two deep-water species, E. paguriphilus and E. abyssorum, and is found to be similar to that of other Anthozoa. It is predicted that both deep-sea species have planktotrophic larvae although the oocyte diameter is much reduced at greater depths. Both of these species reproduce continually. The pattern of growth is established for two of the commensal pairs, and this indicates that the partnerships are uninterrupted during growth.
