Short description Morphology

Formation: hemispherical to flat. Valleys: sinuous or straight; with average width of 35 mm, often separated by a narrow groove. Walls: thick, fleshy. Septa: thick, with large teeth. Columellae: usually in 2 rows. Color: brown, green, or red, with contrastingly colored valleys and walls (Ref. 848).

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.
