Description Massive cerioid colony with polygonal corallites. Intracalicular increase. No holotheca. Radial elements are compact, usually free but occasionally anastomosed in the axial zone, rather attenuated, straight, bent or curved, rarely sinuous, unequal in length and thickness. Costal part extremely short if present. Distal and inner edge with regular rhomboidal teeth, lateral faces with opposite subvertical carinae. Montlivaltid microstructure. No palis. Radial symmetry usually disturbed by a bilateral symmetry marked by the torsion of septa in transverse section . Endotheca made of numerous small vesiculose dissepiments sloping down from the wall to the axial zone. Columella absent but trabecular tissues can take place in depth of the axial zone, synapticulae rarely present in the wall zone. The wall is often in zigzag pattern, not always complete, composite in nature including septal elements, dissepimental elements and more rarely synapitules. [details]

Description Massive cerioid colony with polygonal corallites. Intracalicular increase. No holotheca. Radial elements are compact, usually free but occasionally anastomosed in the axial zone, rather attenuated, straight, bent or curved, rarely sinuous, unequal in length and thickness. Costal part extremely short if present. Distal and inner edge with regular rhomboidal teeth, lateral faces with opposite subvertical carinae. Montlivaltid microstructure. No palis. Radial symmetry usually disturbed by a bilateral symmetry marked by the torsion of septa in transverse section . Endotheca made of numerous small vesiculose dissepiments sloping down from the wall to the axial zone. Columella absent but trabecular tissues can take place in depth of the axial zone, synapticulae rarely present in the wall zone. The wall is often in zigzag pattern, not always complete, composite in nature including septal elements, dissepimental elements and more rarely synapitules. [details]Remark 127 nominal species were cited for Jurassic and 41 for Cretaceous (Loser 2000). There are also old citations of nominal species up to the Miocene. A precise description of well preserved specimens is available in Roniewicz 1982 (especially useful for microstructure and structure of the wall). See also Lathuilière (1988) for a study of intraspecific variability. [details]
Status Isastrea is a junior synonym of Confusastrea. Nevertheless, in order to preserve stability (ICZN art. 23.9.1) Lathuilière, Charbonnier and Pacaud (2017) promoted usage of this widely known genus over priority. [details]
