Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Size refers to colony height (Ref. 865). Maximum depth range from Ref. 119577. Known from intertidal to a depth of 15 meters, on offshore pinnacles or areas of strong currents (Ref. 865).

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.
