Description Colonies are leafy. Corallites are protuberant, rounded mounds, with small but deep apertures, angled towards the edge of the leaf. Calices run in rows parallel to the edge of the leaf. Septo-costae are equal in size and have a very even appearance. These distinguish the species from Leptoseris scabra, which is very similar but which has septo-costae which markedly alternate in size. In deep water L. hawaiiensis may have a very smooth appearance. A mid to deep water species, occurring mostly on steep reef slopes. (Sheppard, 1998 <308>)
Colonies are encrusting laminae. Corallites are deep and rounded, irregularly distributed and slightly inclined towards the perimeter. Septo-costae are very even, giving the coenosteum a smooth appearance. Colour: brown or green, usually mottled. Abundance: uncommon, found on vertical or overhanging walls. (Veron, 1986 <57>) [details]

Septo-costae are equal in size and have a very even appearance. These distinguish the species from Leptoseris scabra, which is very similar but which has septo-costae which markedly alternate in size. In deep water L. hawaiiensis may have a very smooth appearance. A mid to deep water species, occurring mostly on steep reef slopes. (Sheppard, 1998 <308>)Colonies are encrusting laminae.
