Kurzbeschreibung Morphologie

Formation: phaceloid. Corallites: irregular, crowded if in restricted space; less than 19 mm across. Septa: exsert, irregular, varying thickness. Polyps: fleshy; thick septa give prominent radiating stripes to the upper corallite surface. Color: brown or green with green oral discs (Ref. 848).

Biologie     Fachlexikon (Englisch) (z.B. epibenthic)

Occurs in protected reef slopes with partly sandy substrate (Ref. 848). Also in lagoons (Ref. 98471). No bleaching observed in Palau (Ref. 66144).

Life cycle and mating behavior Geschlechtsreife | Fortpflanzung | Ablaichen | Eier | Fecundity | Larven

Hermaphroditic (Ref. 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).
