A solitary, free-living species often found in large aggregations at intermediate depths on reef slope benches. The coral is moderately elongate (length to width ratio between 1.5 and 3 to 1) and may reach 1 m in length. Both upper and lower surfaces are very rough due to septal and costal dentations (Ref. 269).

Life cycle and mating behavior
Madurez | Reproducción | Puesta | Huevos | Fecundidad | Larva
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.
