Colonies are massive, forming boulders or domes, or are flat plates. Corallites are variable but are usually conical and exsert. Long and short septa strongly alternate, with alternate septa joined to the columella. Commonly green, brown, grey, or orange.
Zooxanthellate (Refs. 116012, 121684). Found on rocky reef, in shallow to mesophotic waters (Ref. 121684). Common throughout the Caribbean to a depth of 70 m (Ref. 415). In Belize, it was found in a submarine cave near Columbus Cay at a depth of 10 m (Ref. 87209).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
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 (Ref. 833).
