More recognizable when polyps are retracted. Characterized by conical collines called monticules, which sometimes combine to form ridges. Color varies from grey to blue or bright green.
Occur in small colonies. Polyps expand during the day. An extremely aggressive species. Surface is often covered with barnacles, particularly Creusia spp. (Ref. 130769).

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.
