From: Dimorphic life cycle through transverse division in burrowing hard coral Deltocyathoides orientalis
Schematic diagram showing the dimorphic life cycle of the azooxanthellate scleractinian coral Deltocyathoides orientalis. (A) Coral planula attaching to shell fragment on soft substrate. (B) Anthocaulus. (C) Anthocyathus occurring at the upper interior of the anthocaulus. (D) Division of anthocyathu from anthocaulus. (E) Anthocyathus burrowing into a soft-bottom substrate immediately after division.
