Diagnosis Colonial, massive, plocoid, subcerioid, submeandroid. Budding extracalicular and intracalicular. Corallites circular or subpolygonal in outline, or arranged in short, submeandroid series. Costosepta compact, nonconfluent to confluent; laterally covered by small (generally less than 50 µm) rounded granulae and carinae-like spines. Paliform lobes present or absent. Columella spongy-papillose or irregularly trabecular. Synapticulae present throughout the corallum. Endothecal dissepiments thin, vesicular to subtabular. Wall parasynapticulothecal, septothecal in places, pores present occasionally. [details]Diagnosis
