Full grown colonies have thicker branches and thinner branchlets, and the branching is more irregular and profuse. Colonies are dark reddish brown, varying somewhat in hue in different specimens, only YPM 1710 shows a purplish colour (Plate 5A–B). Marked longitudinal grooves occur along the thick branches, and near the base. The polyps are evenly distributed all around the branches, crowding the surface, and the polyp-apertures are small, up to
