Known from circalittoral zones (Ref. 85338). Believed to be a warm water species with narrow temperature tolerance (Ref. 115189). Common azooxanthellate, generally in shaded habitats, below overhangs or cave entrances (Ref. 107537). In fissures of rocky shores. Appears in two forms: the flat one lives in shallow waters while the turf shape lives in deeper waters, caves, and slopes (Ref. 115189).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | 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.
