Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Short description Morphology
Colony: massive, flattened rather than hemispherical, diameter often more than 1 m. Corallites: compact, neatly rounded, uniform size. Septo-costae: exsert, equal, uniform space. Color: uniform dark gray with paler oral discs (Ref. 848).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
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.
