Short description Morphology
Color is uniform light brown, with the mouth occasionally being light purple. Colony shape tends to look larger and massive when masked by the tentacles. Its normal columnar shape becomes more prominent when disturbed. Corallites are crowded, having little coenosarc (Ref. 130769).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
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).
