Short description Morfologi

Usually small colonies. Corallites: sometimes compact, but often sprawl irregularly; distinctly curved at colony periphery, 8 mm across in average. Pale brown (Ref. 848).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Occurs in flat substrates, often with Caulastrea furcata (Ref. 848). Also in slopes, lagoons and inter-reef soft substrates (Ref. 98471).

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.
