Rhabdopleura recondita is a sessile hemichordate. It is a suspension feeder that secretes tubes on the ocean floor. It is found in the Adriatic and Ionian Seas.
Specimens of R. recondita were collected off the coast of Lecce Province in southeastern Italy.
Beli et al. (2018) found R. recondita living on bryozoan hosts, namely Myriapora truncata, Schizoretepora serratimargo, Celleporina caminata, and Reptadeonella violacea.
