Physical Description
Diagnostic Description
Description
Colonies are submassive to encrusting, with angular corallites. Calices are 8-15 mm in diameter. A groove and tubercle system is well developed. Colour: Usually green or yellow with cream septa and sometimes with green oral discs. Abundance: usually uncommon but occurs in a wide variety of habitats. (Veron, 1986 <57>)
