small colonies are cushion-shaped or low domes or are irregular. Colonies are large and usually exceed 5 meters across. Corallites are of mixed sizes and are usually less than 10 mm in diameter.

Hermaphroditic (Refs. 113708, 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).
