Septo-costae exsert and evenly spaced. Color: often tan to light orange-brown with pale green tentacles (Ref. 848).
Zooxanthellate (Ref. 116012). Common in shallow less than 15 m; reef habitats and sometimes seagrass beds (Ref. 415). Also in intertidal rock pools and shallow reef environments (Ref. 848).

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).
