Description Colonies are phacelo-meandroid with exsert septa which plunge near the valley centre. Polyps have tubular tentacles without side branches but with an anchor- or T-shaped tip. Colour: blue-grey outer border to the terminal structure of the tentacle. Abundance: seldom common but may be a dominant species on deep horizontal substrates. Colonies frequently exceed 1 m in diameter on flat muddy substrates and are conspicuous. (Veron, 1986 <57>) [details]
