Holotype HLD X2: 154-20, geounit Indian Exclusive Economic Zone [details]
From editor or global species database
Diagnosis Extratentacular budding forms colonies of three types: arborescent, bushy and dendroid; epitheca absent; costae well defined; septa in Pourtalès plan;; pali present or not; columella spongy or papillose; azooxanthellate. [details]

Remark This genus and family were monographed by Cairns (2001), which included a phylogenetic analysis based on morphology. 74 species, 33 known from fossil record. Cairns (2001) divided the genus into three species groups, based on colony morphology. [details]

From other sources
Depth range 1-900 m [details]

Description Ahermatypic, colonies are dendroid becoming bushy by extratentacular budding. Corallites are tubular with septa fused according to Pourtales Plan. Polyps are extended mostly at night and are large and fleshy (Veron, 1986 <57>). [details]

Fossil range Paleocene to Recent [details]

Habitat Known from seamounts and knolls [details]

Remark Type species: Madrepora ramea Linnaeus, 1758 from an unrecorded locality (Veron, 1986).
type locality is Mediterranean - Cairns [details]
