Short description Morphology

Colonies are submassive or encrusting plates or form flat tiers. Corallites are immersed or exsert (intermixed); or conical with thick thecae. Thecal and coenosteum papillae are both thick. Uniformly brown or blue. Corallites centers may be brightly colored (Ref. 846).

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.
