Description Colonies are subcorymbose with short thick branches. Redial corallites are of two sizes, are crowded and have prominent lower lips giving a scale-like appearance. Colour: commonly pale blue-grey, green or cream; less commonly bright blue. Abundance: Abundant on reef flats and shallow lagoons. Uncommon on exposed upper reef slopes and deep water (Veron, 1986).
