| Remark | Comprises approximately 90% of adult diet. When feeding on E. radiata, the oral surface was applied to the lamina and held there by opercular suction, and a disc was excised. The bite removed discrete discs, typically from the tips and centers of the secondary laminae where the sori are located in the reprodcutive season (Ref. 34014). | ||
