From editor or global species database
Diagnosis Mature colony unattached, three-dimensional, erect and tangled, c. 4.5 cm diameter, erect ringed tubes budded directly from surface of principal tubes (stems) at any angle; stems lacking zigzag sutures. Pectocaulus varying in position along stems. Erect tubes spaced 309‒521 μm apart, mean erect-tube diameter 178 μm, mean fusellus height 31 μm. Darkly sclerotized tubes occurring sporadically on stems, slightly tapered proximally and distally. [details]Etymology Latin emancipatus, set free, alluding to the unattached sole colony. [details]
