Colony: small, usually less than 50 mm across, hemispherical to encrusting. Corallites: shape range from immersed to conical to tubular, may be circular with one mouth, to elongate with multiple mouths; intertidal encrusting colonies may be submeandroid; spherical colonies with unrestricted growing space often with tubular corallites; valleys seldom more than 5 mm across; walls neatly rounded, whatever the corallite shape. Septo-costae exsert and evenly spaced. Color: often tan to light orange-brown with pale green tentacles (Ref. 848).
Zooxanthellate (Ref. 116012). Common in shallow less than 15 m; reef habitats and sometimes seagrass beds (Ref. 415). Also in intertidal rock pools and shallow reef environments (Ref. 848).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | 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).
