Lower part of the inclined corallite walls commonly immersed, giving the upper part a hooded appearance. Septa: widely spaced, irregular size. Well developed paliform crowns. Color: uniformly yellowish-green or brown (Ref. 848).

Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturité | Reproduction | Frai | Œufs | Fécondité | Larves
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.
