Column Size: 8 to 10 cm in height. Fishing is done artisanalement, with the dredger. Consumed primarily in Sicily. The species meets on all the Mediterranean circumference between a few meters and a hundred meters, on sandy-muddy or detrital substrates (Ref. 364).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | 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.
