Short description Morphology

Corallites are small. Polyps are short; beige or grey-brown, with a green oral disc.

Found more often in turbid waters. Hide under rocks and other corals. Day feeder. Reported from Hong Kong to be associated with the shrimp Hamopontonia corallicolla, where it attaches to the surface via the hooked processes on its telson (Ref. 130769).

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.
