Biologie     Fachlexikon (Englisch) (z.B. epibenthic)

Maximum depth from Ref. 116012. Zooxanthellate (Ref. 116012). Occurs in lower reef slopes, soft substrates (Ref. 848) and hard substrate (Ref. 116012), occasionally on deep reefs and shaded walls (Ref. 415).

Life cycle and mating behavior Geschlechtsreife | Fortpflanzung | Ablaichen | Eier | Fecundity | Larven

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.
