Short description Morphology
Colony: encrusting, thick plates, or columnar. Surface: smooth, columns may be large and reach 1 m in height. Corallites: alternating long and short fine septal spines. Polyp: truncated tips, giving a squared appearance. Tentacle: six large tentacles may alternate with six small tentacles. Color: uniformly pale or dark brown (Ref. 848).
Occurs on protected upper reef slopes (Ref. 848).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Hermaphroditic (Ref. 113708). 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).
