 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Adding to "Description" :[edit]
These corals have small bumps, known as thecal papillae, that are fused together around the corallite[1]. They also have a coenosteum papillae that is present[1].
Reproduction and Development:[edit]
These corals can be hermaphroditic or gonochoric[2]. Their zygote produces planktonic planula larvae[3]. Metamorphosis takes place early before larval settlement occurs on the opposite side of the mouth[3].
