Growth is highly variable from thick crusts to massive lobate, or sparsely to profusely branching. Smooth surface with barely visible pale dermal canals towards the oscules. Exterior is pink or pale reddish to lavender-gray to almost white. Interior is always dark red. Soft, compressible and elastic; interior crumbly. Elevated oscules with a white conical membrane (Ref. 85482).
Known from rocky bottoms (Ref. 83912). Widely distributed in shallow reef habitats, lagoons (Ref. 415), mangrove and seagrass. Early colonizer of shallow artificial reefs (Ref. 85482). Commensal with amphipods (Ref. 82302).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
