Short description Morphology
Formation: massive, often forming large domes on reef tops. Corallites: cerioid, tightly compacted, irregularly shaped, 8 to 10 mm diameter. Septa: rounded, bead-like dentations only in living colonies. Color: combinations of blue-gray, green and yellow (Ref. 848).
Occurs in shallow or subtidal reef environments (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.
