Korte beschrijving Morfologie

Colonies are submassive and meandroid, often forming thick plates. Valleys radiate from the original point of growth and divide at regular intervals maintaining a constant width. Grey or pale brown in color.

Life cycle and mating behavior Geslachtsrijpheid | Voortplanting | Kuitschieten | Eieren | Fecundity | Larven

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.
