Arms moderately long, about nine times the disc diameter. Disc colour dark purplish or greyish or orange (the later ones in specimens found under dead coral ). Arms with a light line along the aboral midline of the arms, that is usually present on the tip of the arms only. Habitat: sometimes bear a commensal Polychaet or Gastropod (Balinsky, 1957).
gion, marked laterodistal angles, broadest distally. Oral arm plates octogonal, distal edge straight. Up to ten thorny arm spines, lowest one comb-like.
Habitat: lower eulittoral, sublittoral, under coral boulders or in [details]
