Short description Morphology
Colony: submassive, usually lobed. Corallites: irregularly spined. Polyps: elongate when extended, often retracted during the day. Color: grey or pinkish brown when polyps are retracted; brown when polyps are extended (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.
