5.2 cm wide. The holotype is oval-shaped, attached at the centre with free margins and sunken in the central part (Figures 4d, 6b). At the opposite ends of its largest diameter the corallum margins bend in different directions with respect to the plane of the central encrusting part (upwards at the left-hand side and downwards at the right-hand side of Figure 6b). The corallum surface is irregularly undulated due to the presence of well-developed carinae, which are symmetrical and thick in the central part (Figure 6d) and become increasingly shorter, lower, and more inclined towards the margins (Figure 6c).

Calices: Arranged in short rows, mostly distinct (Figure 6d) especially towards the margins where the series become shorter (Figure 6c). Calices and series of calices are arranged parallel to each other, concentric and separated by wide and rounded carinae with variable vertical development and inclination with respect to the corallum surface (Figures 4d, 6c). Where carinae separate, single calices or short series become distinct. In these cases, short carinae can resemble proximal cushions, the typical features forming in the agariciid genus

Average colony size is around 15 cm in diameter (Figure 4). The largest colony observed in the field was 25 cm across (Figure 11b). Corallum generally encrusting at the centre with foliose margins, thicker in colonies grown in well-lit environments and thinner in those from deeper and lower light conditions. Calices always distinct and arranged in series in most specimens although the length of the series can be very variable within and between specimens (Figures 4-6) and single calices can be also observed (Figure 6g). Carinae are always rounded, however they show much variation in height and width (Figure 4). Examples of the two ends of the wide variation range of the development of carinae in this species are provided in Figure 5. Columella always present, sitting low in the fossa, made of one or multiple spatula-shaped processes extending from the inner end of the radial elements (Figures 6

). No dissepiments were observed between the inner ends of the radial elements and the processes forming the columella in calices in series or alone (Figures 7

ornamentation consists of parallel lines of clumped granules (Figures 7, 10a, c, e). Clumps of granules can fuse laterally to form short ledge-like features (Figure 10e), however these never develop into menianae sensu stricto. The upper margin of the radial elements is minutely beaded (Figures 7f, 10e) and typically attains a zigzag pattern with clumps of granules at the angles (Figure 7f).

In well-lit conditions and when growing on a horizontal substrate, this species tends to have a wrinkled appearance due to well-developed carinae. In colonies growing on inclined substrate and shaded conditions the carinae are less developed and the corallum surface can attain a smooth or slightly undulating surface. The coloration ranges from a grayish beige (Figures 4b, c, h, 5
<normalizedToken id="DCD434178BD493100F9793B1FC9949BB" originalValue="ab">a-b</normalizedToken>
