Short description Morphology
Polyps are light grey or green. They cover the dentate septa, which rise to form incomplete, flower-like theca.
Low colonies usually follow the contours of rocks, ending with thin plates etched with radiating septa, forming the colony's border (Ref. 130769).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Hermaphroditic (Ref. 113712). 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 (Ref. 833).
