Zooxanthellate (Ref. 116012). Upper to mid reef slopes, lagoons with clear water (Ref. 846), subtidal reef tops and reef edges (Ref. 86439). In Belize, it was also found in a submarine cave at a depth of 10 m (Ref. 87209).

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).
