Description Pillow-like colonies, not quite developing into small, loose tables. Yellow to grey, usually with corallite tips of a different colour. Corallites are long, slender and smooth, marbled or glassy in appearance which makes the species distinctive. Their shape is cylindrical, not flared (Sheppard, 1998).

Colonies are corymbose or pillow-like. Horizontal branches are thin and spreading. Upward-projecting branches are fine and radial corallites have flaring lips. Colour: usually grey or bright blue-green or yellow. Tips of branches may be yellow, lime green, pale blue or brown. Abundance: Very common, especially on upper reef slopes and in lagoons, where its pillow shape is best developed. (Veron, 1986 <57>) [details]

Description Pillow-like colonies, not quite developing into small, loose tables. Yellow to grey, usually with corallite tips of a different colour. Corallites are long, slender and smooth, marbled or glassy in appearance which makes the species distinctive. Their shape is cylindrical, not flared (Sheppard, 1998).

Colonies are corymbose or pillow-like. Horizontal branches are thin and spreading. Upward-projecting branches are fine and radial corallites have flaring lips. Colour: usually grey or bright blue-green or yellow. Tips of branches may be yellow, lime green, pale blue or brown. Abundance: Very common, especially on upper reef slopes and in lagoons, where its pillow shape is best developed. (Veron, 1986 <57>) [details]
