Diagnosis Colonial, massive, plocoid. Gemmation generally extracalicinal. Costosepta compact, nonconfluent, arranged radially and bilaterally, spinose laterally, moniliform marginally. Columella spongy-papillose or formed by twisted segments, absent in some corallites. Synapticulae absent. Auriculae sparse or absent. Perithecal dissepiments sparse. Endothecal dissepiments vesicular, forming a stereozone. Wall parathecal-septoparathecal, thick. [details]Remark Originally, the genus Reussicoenia was placed in the Placocoeniidae. Re-investigation of the type material by Baron-Szabo (2010) revealed, however, that it showed close affinities to the Agatheliidae. Based on the presence of: compact septa that have numerous spiniform granulae laterally and are beaded marginally; granulated peritheca formed by (incomplete) concentric lamellae; ; plocoid polyp integration; septothecal developments that often consist of stunted septa; the genus Reussicoenia is here transferred to the Agatheliidae.
