Short description Morphology

Colonies are massive (especially in shallow waters) or encrusting. The surface is usually irregular. Columellae are well-developed although interlinked. Ambulacral grooves, if present, fine. Greys and browns in color, usually with walls and valleys of contrasting colors

Zooxanthellate (Ref. 116012).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | 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.
