Description Colonies are submassive or are short thick columns. Calices are up to 4.5 mm in diameter. Columellae are prominent, dome-shaped, divided into six parts, each being a delta of four septa. Polyps have large oral cones. Colour: pale or dark brown or green. Oral cones are usually white. Abundance: common, especially in turbid water. May form large monospecific stands.
