Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
It expels acontia through its cinclides that can burn sensitive skin (Ref. 87801). It is found on rocky and biogenic substrates, in crevices, or under overhangs particularly in areas with exposed tidepools up to a depth of 60 m (Ref. 87801). Solitary (Ref. 2377). Also found on Macrocystis pyrifera kelp bed and Lessonia trabeculata patches (Ref. 92519).
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.
