         General Impact

    Celtodoryx ciocalyptoides is characterized by an extensive spatial broading and therewith it rates today among the dominant benthic megafauna in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Morbihan and Dutch inshore waters. It competes successfully with other macrobenthic organisms, overgrowing some of the other sessile invertebrates such as other sponges and octocorals (Perez et al., 2006).
