Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Colony: massive, usually small. Corallites: crowded, often circular and monocentric but rarely elongate and polycentric. Septa: thickened over the corallite wall, exsert, with large teeth near the wall. Paliform lobes may form a crown around the small columellae. Often pale brown (Ref. 848).
Known from upper reef slopes (Ref. 848).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | 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.
