Short description Morfologi

Formation: mostly submassive. Corallites: cerioid to subplocoid, with moderately thin walls. Septa: thin and widely spaced; larger septa have very long teeth projecting upwards, causing a spiny appearance. Colonies usually not fleshy. Color: uniform or mottled brown, yellow, or green (Ref. 848).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Occurs in shallow reef environments (Ref. 848).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | 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.
