Individual polyps grow to 0.4cm in total height. The polyps are naked and cluster on the shell surface, interspersed with defensive spines and tiny ball-like reproductive structures. [2] DistributionThis colonial animal is found only off the southern African coast from Luderitz to False Bay, Cape Town subtidally and to at least 30m under water.[2] References1. ^http://marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=284838 accessed 13 August 2013 {{Commons category|Hydractinia altispina}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q2496202}}2. ^1 Millard, N.A.H. 1975.
