Description Colonies have many shapes and may be bottlebrush, caespitose or plate-like. Corallites may be tabular or have thickened walls becoming tubular. Tubular axial corallites may have no radial corallites on one side. Colour: usually pale blue or brown. Axial corallites are usually whitish. Abundance: Very abundant on upper reef slopes but occurs in a wide range of environments (Veron, 1986).
Habitat: rocks (Kalk, 1959). [details]
