Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Very abundant and common in intertidal waters to considerable depths; inhabits soft bottom substrates, on muddy coastal areas to off-shore environments; also in turbid near-shore reefs (Ref. 101098).

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.
