Short description आकृति विज्ञान

Colonies form encrusting plates (up to 1 m diameter) which may develop short (10 cm), gnarled, vertical branches, particularly in shallow water. Corallites are arranged in near parallel rows that meander slightly. The walls are almost the same width as the corallites. Septa are continuous over walls between adjacent corallites (Ref. 269). Zooxanthellate (Ref. 19).

जीवविज्ञान     शब्द संग्रह (उदाहरणार्थ epibenthic)

Common at shallow to intermediate depths (Ref. 269) in a wide variety of reef environments, especially in lagoons (Ref. 101940). Zooxanthellae (Ref. 19).

Life cycle and mating behavior परिपक्व अवधि | पुनरुत्पत्ति | मछलीऔ का अंडे देना | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

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).
