Appears as uniform light brown colonies that are massive, usually less then 300 mm across and sometimes occur as free-living mobile balls. Corallites are rounded, deep and irregular about 2.5-3 mm diameter. Septa are in clearly defined three cycles.
Zooxanthellate (Ref. 116012). Found on shallow reef (Ref. 847).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
Either gonochoric or 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).
