Description Colonies are arborescent to caespitose. Corallites are irregular and the surface of branches is very rough. Polyps are usually extended during the day. Colour: usually pale blue, sometimes dark blue or pale yellow or brown. Polyps are pale blue or white. Abundance: uncommon except in turbid water around fringing reefs. Arborescent colonies are usually associated with turbid water, bushy colonies occur on upper reef slopes and in lagoons (Veron, 1986). [details]
