Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Colonies are able to survive in some of the most polluted nearshore waters (Ref. 865). It is found on reefs, pipelines, wharfs, and wrecks in depths of 15 to 30 meters (Ref. 865).

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.
