in length). The polyps are retracted within dome­shaped, coenenchymal mounds which are slightly raised, and closely crowded on the branches. They are mostly arranged in two to four alternating rows along the branches; more on thick branches. There is a very thin rim of orange sclerites around the polyp apertures. Polyps are white with rods arranged in weak points, some very small biscuit­like rods are found at the base of the tentacles. Coenenchymal sclerites are different combinations and abundances of pink, and hues of red, from reddish­orange to pale yellow, and also multicoloured; many of them show a yellowish halo. The surface of the branches contains dark yellow capstans sparsely distributed on a solid layer of orange and reddish­orange, larger capstans and spindles. In some specimens, however, almost all sclerites have the same colour, generally reddish­orange, but a shine from yellow sclerites on the branches can always be seen. The coenenchymal sclerites are mostly wide capstans and spindles, robustly tuberculate, becoming barrel­like. Anthocodial sclerites are light yellow rods.
