Description Colonies are phaceloid with irregularly spaced sprawling corallites. Corallites have one centre with a weakly developed columella. Septa slope gently to the corallite centre and have lobed teeth. Corallite walls are enveloped with, and often joined by epitheca. Polyps have fleshy mantles extended during the day to form a continuous cover obliterating the phaceloid colony structure underneath. Polyps are extended only at night. Both species have two colour morphs, one being red. (Veron, 1986 <57>) [details]
