Short description Morfologi

Colony: massive, often small. Plocoid to tubular corallites. Primarily extratentacular budding. Equal and well developed costae. Often poorly developed paliform lobes. Small and compact columellae. Tentacles extend only at night. Color often brown, cream, or green with pale oral discs (Ref. 848).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Known from shallow reef environments, especially reef backs away from strong wave action (Ref. 848). Has low to moderate bleaching level in Palau (Ref. 66144).

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