Corallite walls are composed of angular ridges with uniform radiating septa, giving the skeleton a fuzzy appearance. Colonies are flat, light brown, or beige.

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Can be found in both shallow (Ref. 122680) and deep waters (Ref. 130769). On lower reef slopes (Ref. 98471) away from wave action (Ref. 101973), and on vertical walls (Ref. 98471).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturità | Riproduzione | Deposizione | Uova | Fecundity | Larve

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.
