Summary The state of knowledge concerning the reproductive biology of zoanthids is reviewed. Colonies in the suborder Macrocnemina, with few exceptions, are gonochoric; those in Brachycnemina are probably basically hermaphroditic but accurate sampling in colonies that fragment is difficult and exceptions by species or populations occur. Two deepsea species of Epizoanthus breed continuously but temperate shallow water zoanthids, and those in the tropics outside ∼15° latitude are iteroparous with spawning in summer or when temperatures are rising. Oogenesis occurs over a few months but the spawning event may be very brief. Parazoanthus parasiticusin Bermuda spawns mainly on 1–2 nights in late August or September, apparently at full moon;Protopalythoa sp. 1, and probably Palythoa caesia in the Great Barrier Reef spawn 3–5 nights after full moon in November (early summer). These species with short, precisely defined spawning seasons may undergo a second, smaller-scale spawning event one month after the first....
