Description The genera in this family are solitary or colonial, mostly ahermatypic. Corallite walls are porous, usually composed of coenosteum. Septa are fused in a distinctive pattern, at least in immature corallites. Related families: None. (Veron, 1986 <57>). [details] Fossil range Early Cretaceous to Recent

Biology zooxanthellate or azooxanthellate [details]Diagnosis Corallum solitary or colonial, free or attached, most azooxanthellate, sometimes reproducing by transverse division; septa laminar, composed of one fan system of numerous, irregularly spaced, simple trabeculae resulting in a smooth axial margin, at least in lower-cycle (S1-2) septa, but a porous septum; wall synapticulothecate, both wall and septa being somewhat porous; endotheca and dissepiments may be present; septa usually hexameral, often arranged in a Pourtales plan; pali and columella present or absent. [details] Remark A revision and phylogenetic analysis of the genera of this family was published by Cairns (2001). [details] From other sources
