: morphology of type material. (A) Holotype (SMNHTAU_Co_36017) with polyps budding off on different levels from the encrusting membrane, occasionally dichotomously, forming small branched groups of polyps. (B) Paratype (SMNHTAU_Co_38226) featuring clusters of expanded polyps. (C) Paratype (SMNHTAU_Co_36015) comprises eight fragments, two shown here. (D) Polyps of the paratype (SMNHTAU_Co_36015) whose polyps bud off in a distinct dichotomous manner, forming small groups of polyps.
