Etymology authors: Ramisyllis kingghidorahi "name refers to King Ghidorah, the three-headed and two-tailed monster enemy of Godzilla. Both characters were created by Tomoyuki Tanaka based on Japanese mythology and folklore. King Ghidorah is a branching fictitious animal that can regenerate its lost ends. King Ghidorah is assumed to be a male and latinized accordingly" [details]

Etymology authors: Ramisyllis kingghidorahi "name refers to King Ghidorah, the three-headed and two-tailed monster enemy of Godzilla. Both characters were created by Tomoyuki Tanaka based on Japanese mythology and folklore. King Ghidorah is a branching fictitious animal that can regenerate its lost ends. King Ghidorah is assumed to be a male and latinized accordingly" [details]
Habitat Always in Petrosia sp. sponges. Authors: "The sponges measured 5–10 cm in diameter and were usually irregularly round and pink, with mostly smooth surfaces except some areas showing crests, dead and healed areas and some large oscula. Immediately after placing the sponges in trays, many very active, fast-swimming male left them. After 2–3 h, swimming female stolons also left, moving slower than males." [details]
