Diagnosis Corallum flabellate, but often with overlapping branches; smallest branchlets arising laterally or irregularly on all sides of branches. Branches developing predominantly from lateral or anterolateral branchlets. Corallum sometimes with cylindrical, reticulated worm runs formed by smallest branchlets. Spines small, subtriangular to conical, smooth; up to 0.11 mm tall. Polyps about 1 mm in transverse diameter. [details]
