Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Colonies are composed of very thin unifacial laminae which are usually contorted. Corallites are ins conspicuous, in rows between coenosteum ridges. Coenosteum ridges are irregular. Pale brown; becoming paler towards colony margins. Coenosteum ridges are usually pale (Ref. 846).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
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.
