Ecology Martin et al (2002) reports on the stolons (tetracerous stolons with two antennae and two palps). They report that "Haplosyllis chamaeleon lives on the branches of its host gorgonian Paramuricea clavata, often reaching densities of no more than ten worms per host colony. The worms usually extend their bodies along the longitudinal axes of the host branches, preferably near zones with a high number of living polyps (mainly the apical parts) and they have been observed with the anterior ends inside the gastric cavity of gorgonian polyps.
