Revassocierade; djupintervall 0 - 37 m (Ref. 78567). Tropical; 29°N - 36°S, 98°W - 32°E (Ref. 848)
Western Central Atlantic and Indo-Pacific.
Length at first maturity / Size / Vikt / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Formation: clumps of interlocking tubular corallites less than 4 mm in diameter; clumps either compact and attached to hard substrates, or loose aggregations on soft substrate that break when disturbed. Only the terminal parts of corallites are often alive. Thin and delicate septo-costae in 2 alternating orders, with irregular teeth. Corallite walls also thin and delicate. Color: tan or brown; tentacles translucent (Ref. 848).
Minimum depth (0-30 m) from Ref. 848. Maximum depth recorded from Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope at 10-20 fathoms. A dead fragment was obtained off Bermuda at 435 fathoms but species probably doesn't live at this depth (Ref. 78567).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Ägg | Fecundity | Larver
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.
