discussion
Remarks. Worms are mostly associated with coral (live and dead) or limestone, although in this study two species were found as foulers in marinas and ports from some localities in South America. The tubes have a tree trunk or leathery appearance with several gold, green olive or brown colored thin layers, from where entire worms are often hard to extract. Chemical composition of tubes has not been studied in Notaulax.
