Short description Morphology
Bottlebrush-shaped colony. Monopodial main axis, slightly zigzagging. Branches subdivide into hexagonal patterns. Neck can be narrower than the head. Polyps are as wide as they are tall; mostly leaning distad, if not arranged obliquely on the polyp body. Sclerites in the form of scales and plates mostly parallel to main branch axis present on the coenenchyme branch (Ref. 89430).
Depth range based on data of samples in Ref. 89430.
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.
