Short description Morfologi

small colonies are cushion-shaped or low domes or are irregular. Colonies are large and usually exceed 5 meters across. Corallites are of mixed sizes and are usually less than 10 mm in diameter.

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Hermaphroditic (Refs. 113708, 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).
