Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Formation: phaceloid, rarely subplocoid. Corallite diameter: between 9 to 14 mm. Numerous septa not arranged in cycles. Mantles extend during the day and may form a continuous surface obscuring the underlying growth-form. Color: mantles are usually gray, but also red or green; oral discs are usually green, but also red or dark gray (Ref. 848).
Mainly lives in wave-exposed environments (Ref. 115153). Occurs in lower reef slopes away from wave action, also in turbid environments (Ref. 848).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | 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.
