Colonies may be several meters across and composed of interconnecting meandering thins-walled flabello-meandroid valleys. Living parts of the colony are usually separated by dead basal parts. Valley, walls and septa are both thin and fragile. Polyps have fleshy mantles, which form a continuous cover of compact discs. Usually grey in color with pale margins to mantles.
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.
