Depth range is based on occurrence in Australia (Ref. 100370); to be replaced with a better reference. Occurs in subtidal environments typically unoccupied by other corals. Often occurs on dead corals from low water down to a depth of half meter (Ref. 98471).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | 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.
