Short description Morfologi

Color is uniform light brown, with the mouth occasionally being light purple. Colony shape tends to look larger and massive when masked by the tentacles. Its normal columnar shape becomes more prominent when disturbed. Corallites are crowded, having little coenosarc (Ref. 130769).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Occur in both shallow and deeper waters. Colony shape tends to look larger and massive when masked by the tentacles. Although when disturbed, its normal columnar shape becomes more prominent. Polyps extend during the day (Ref. 130769).

Life cycle and mating behavior Könsmognad | Reproduktion | Lek | Eggs | Fecundity | 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).
