Description Colonies are massive or columnar. Calices are 3-7 mm in diameter and angular. Septa are irregular in length and taper from the wall into the columella, which is small. Paliform lobes are thick. Colour: cream or brown. Abundance: common in subtidal communities where colonies frequently exceed 1 m in diameter. (Veron, 1986 <57>) [details]
