Description
Summary:Erroneous— Ophiomyxa pentagona (Lamarck, 1816) Reports for the Azores: Ophiomyxa pentagona (Lamarck, 1816) — Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972: 396; Marques 1980: 103.

Depth: 35– 1,095 m in the Atlantic, but common in littoral-sublittoral Mediterranean waters (Tortonese 1965, Madsen 1970, Cherbonnier & Sibuet 1972). Habitat: hard to soft substrata, including Posidonia and Caulerpa meadows (Tortonese 1965).
