Collaret and points may be colourless or dark orange, composed of warty to spiny spindles and well-developed thorny clubs. Tentacles contain irregular, warty, scale-like sclerites. Polyp neck contains warty rod-like forms. Polyp mounds contain similar sclerites, as well as cone-like clubs, spindle-like, rod-like and oval forms with warts in girdles. Lobe and base surface contains similar sclerites, but lacks well-developed clubs. Base surface also includes spheroids, a few clubs, and gradations between radiates and oval or rod-like forms with wart girdles and occasionally a narrow waist. Lobe and base interior contains highly sculptured rod-like, spindle-like and oval forms girdled with complex warts, spheroids particularly common in base interior.</paragraph>
