Extract

Oscular tubes were photomicrographed at intervals of roughly one or more days. The changes in length and width were determined using radiate spicules as markers. Changes in width were also measured directly using the outlines of the tubes. Several types of growth were thereby observed. The category considered here includes a temporary phase of constriction during the interval between the photographs. Such irregular growth is usual for Leucosolenia situated in rock pools on the shore.
