The typical form is variable in colony shape, those specimens living in a high energy shallow-water environment usually being encrusting, the layer of coenosteum sometimes less than 1 mm thick (Fig. 27E), the gastrostyle base almost resting on the hard substrate. In deeper water, colonies produce short (up to 17 mm), knobby, clavate, cylindrical branches, which originate from the basal encrustation. Only rarely will these branches bifurcate. Although the types of

Cyclosystems uniformly arranged on encrustations and on all sides of branchlets; diameter of cyclosystems 0.9-1.2 mm. Gastropore tube highly constricted, the upper larger portion being infundibuliform to spherical, the lower chamber spherical and almost completely occupied by the gastrostyle(s), the two portions of the chamber constricted near gastrostyle tip. Gastropore tube diameter about 0.3 mm, the tube constriction about half that diameter. Just above the constriction numerous small (up to 45

<normalizedToken originalValue="µm">µm</normalizedToken>
long and 15
<normalizedToken originalValue="µm">µm</normalizedToken>

Usually there is only one gastrostyle per cyclosystem, but occasionally the upper chambers of two cyclosystems are linked together resulting in two gastrostyles in one cavity, and rarely there appears to be 2 gastrostyles in one normal gastropore chamber.

In well-preserved colonies, dactylopores are slightly raised above surface of coenosteum; dactylotomes 0.10-0.12 mm wide. Number of dactylotomes per cyclosystem variable, depending on size of cyclosystem, but ranges from 2-12, with common modes of 4, 5 and 8 (see Remarks). Dactylostyles robust (Fig. 29A, C, H), the cylindrical elements up to 55
