Distribution and habitat
Henricia sexradiata is found in the tropical and semi-tropical western Atlantic Ocean. Its range extends from South Carolina to Jamaica, the Gulf of Mexico and Nicaragua. It is found on sandy and shelly bottoms at depths between 30 and 366 m (100 and 1,200 ft).[2]
Ecology
Henricia sexradiata can undergo a form of asexual reproduction by undergoing fission, with part of the disc and one or more arms breaking off; the missing parts of each section then regenerate to form two new individuals.[3]
