Short description Morfologi

Formation: solid, rounded, often circular plates. Valleys: continuous, broad, shallow but sometimes deep; radiating from the original point of growth; with one row of mouths; short walls possible. Septo-costae possibly thinner than intervening spaces. Corallite centers: vaguely concentric to plate margins. Rudimentary or absent columellae. Color: often mottled gray or brown; also combinations of pink, green, and gray, with valleys and walls of contrasting colors (Ref. 848).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Maximum depth from Ref. 116012. Zooxanthellate (Ref. 116012). Occurs in most 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.
