Short description Morfologi

A corymbose growth form distinguishes this spcies. Individual branches form fat fingers, 0.1-0.25 cm in diameter and less than 20 cm in length, with little secondary branching. Due to solid construction, these species is found on exposed reefs throughout its range in shallow to intermediate depths (Ref. 269).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Can be found in shallow waters (Ref. 122680). Found on exposed reefs throughout its range in shallow to intermediate depths (Ref. 269) on reef tops, upper slopes and submerged reefs (Ref. 86439). Also on reef flats (Ref. 98471).

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

Hermaphroditic (Refs. 113708, 113712). 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 (Ref. 833).
