Kurzbeschreibung Morphologie

Colonies are encrusting to massive. Corallites with numerous septa tightly compacted giving a smooth surface. Septa are uniformly separated and reduce numbers from the wall to the columella without forming many fan-like fusions. Usually light reddish brown in color.

Zooxanthellate (Ref. 116012). Common throughout the Caribbean on protected shallow reefs or deeper reefs (Ref. 415).

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

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).
