Most reef habitats except turbid water (Ref. 846). Carries dense populations of the bivalve L. simplex. Bivalves are completely enclosed by the skeleton. They benefit from the coral through nutrition and protection against predators. The coral's gain, however, is unclear (Ref. 115168).

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).
