Short description Morfología

Colonies are submassive with corallites at the bottom of depressions or in short non-meandering valleys. Walls have acute tops with petaloid primary septo-costae, which are not exsert (Ref. 847). Color ranges from light blue-grey to reddish brown. Corallites are small and almost square in shape (Ref. 130769).

Maximum depth from Ref. 115142. Can be found in shallow waters (Ref. 122680), in shallow reef areas (Ref. 847); uncommon on subtidal reefs between 3 to 25 m depth (Ref. 88997). Inhabited by polychaete worms, which also serves as it distinguishing feature (Ref. 130769).

Life cycle and mating behavior Madurez | Reproducción | Puesta | Huevos | Fecundidad | Larva

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.
