Short description Morphology
Colonies are massive or sometimes occur as free-living mobile balls. Corallites are rounded and shallow, about 2.5-3.5 mm in diameter. Septa have curved upper margins and are granulated. Columellae consist of one or a few granules. Appears reddish-brown with pale walls.
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | 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.
