The specimens from Hengam Island (RMNH Coel. 38773) have thornscales with a much more developed root-like base; the colonies from Kharku Island RMNH Coel. 38775) have thornscales with a much more dentate spine.

The species differs from the previously described one in having much thicker branches while the colonies are all much smaller. This striking difference in colony shape is the main reason we consider them to be different species as the sclerites of the two species do not differ much.
