Description: Colonies are laminar and unifacial, to branching and bifacial. Branches are usually highly contorted. The surface is a series of concentric ridges parallel with the margins. Corallite centres are not discernible. Valleys are concentric and parallel to the corallum edge. Columellae are wall-like with lobed upper margins or absent. Septo-costae are very fine, even and tightly compacted. Extended polyps have never been observed day or night.
