Short description Morfologi

Colony: massive, with slightly angular corallites. Corallites: with thick, rounded walls. Weakly developed paliform lobes. Large columellae. Septal spines may be prominent.

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).
