						Colony: massive. Corallites: circular, closely compacted in shallow water, more widely spaced in deeper water. Septa: widely spaced, distinctly irregular. Often poorly developed paliform lobes. Color: pale yellow, cream or green, with dark brown or green oral discs (Ref. 848).					
				
				
						
			
			
			
			
				
					Minimum depth from Ref. 104515. Found in all reef environments, often a dominant species of back reef margins (Ref. 848).  Also on subtidal rock, rocky reefs, outer reef channel, back and foreslope and lagoons; occasionally in inter-reef soft substrate  (Ref. 98471).  Tends to form low heads or encrust rocks in shallow waters (Ref. 130769).

					Hermaphroditic (Ref. 113712).  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).
