Description Colonies are usually less than 30 cm across and high, with bushy form, and only a limited tendency towards developing into plates. Where they do form plates, the branches are often flattened: there is a flat, granular underside with no branches arising from the surface, and a rounded upper side which supports the branchlets. Branchlets are very distinctive, due to their very large and smoothly rounded, often bulbous, axial corallites. Each axial corallite can exceed 1.5 cm long and 6 mm wide, and may comprise over half of its entire branchlet. Generally, radial corallites do not appear until well down the branchlets, though on the more bulbous axials, several completely immersed radials develop. This species is seldom seen in shallow water but prefers depths of 15 to 40 m deep in clear water. Although it is widespread its fairly small colonies are well dispersed, and it does not form dense aggregations. The large axial corallites are cream coloured, with the rest of the colony being pale or mid brown (Sheppard, 1998).
Colonies are semicircular horizontal plates less than 1 m across, composed of regularly spaced horizontal branches with short upright branchlets with tapering tubular corallites. Colour: usually uniform cream, grey or pale blue, but may be other colours. Abundance: Seldom found in shallow water but common on lower reef slopes (Veron, 1986). [details]

Description Colonies are usually less than 30 cm across and high, with bushy form, and only a limited tendency towards developing into plates. Where they do form plates, the branches are often flattened: there is a flat, granular underside with no branches arising from the surface, and a rounded upper side which supports the branchlets. Branchlets are very distinctive, due to their very large and smoothly rounded, often bulbous, axial corallites. Each axial corallite can exceed 1.5 cm long and 6 mm wide, and may comprise over half of its entire branchlet. Generally, radial corallites do not appear until well down the branchlets, though on the more bulbous axials, several completely immersed radials develop. This species is seldom seen in shallow water but prefers depths of 15 to 40 m deep in clear water. Although it is widespread its fairly small colonies are well dispersed, and it does not form dense aggregations. The large axial corallites are cream coloured, with the rest of the colony being pale or mid brown (Sheppard, 1998).
Colonies are semicircular horizontal plates less than 1 m across, composed of regularly spaced horizontal branches with short upright branchlets with tapering tubular corallites. Colour: usually uniform cream, grey or pale blue, but may be other colours. Abundance: Seldom found in shallow water but common on lower reef slopes (Veron, 1986). [details]
