The development of a ring of synapticulae linking the septa in the center of the corallites and the fusion patterns of the septa (ventral triplets and lateral pairs) was also variable. The appearance of the living polyps on the other hand was very stable, and the species was readily identifiable underwater by its color, number of tentacles and small size.</paragraph>
