Short description Morfologi

Colonies are nodular laminar or encrusting with nodules usually flattened in section and club-shaped. Corallites are widely separated and circular to angular in outline.

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Zooxanthellate (Refs. 116012, 121684). Found in low light conditions (Ref. 1663). On rocky reef , shallow to mesophotic waters (Ref. 121684).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the class Anthozoa are either gonochoric or hermaphroditic. Mature gametes are shed into the coelenteron and spawned through the mouth. Life cycle: The zygote develops into a planktonic planula larva. Metamorphosis begins with early morphogenesis of tentacles, septa and pharynx before larval settlement on the aboral end.
