Colonies are composed of stout, upright, flattened branches that are often over one meter across and may for large single species stands. Pale to dark green or brown in color.
Can be found in shallow waters (Ref. 122680). Found in most reef environments (Ref. 847), particularly in fore-reefs (Ref. 87903). Comanthus parvicirrus, a crinoid, is sometimes observed to be wedged on the branches of this species (Ref. 100838).
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.
