Maximum depth from Ref. 120488. Can be found in deep waters (Ref. 122680). Azooxanthellate, found in deep reefs (Ref. 116012). Known from circalittoral and bathyal zones (Ref. 810) at depths 2 to 2460 m. It inhabits rock walls, boulder grounds, or biogenic hard substrates like mussel shells in areas with moderate to strong current exposure (Ref. 87801).

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.
