Dorsal plates of arms naked with longitudinal keel, protruding distally to form a faint elevated knob. Ventral arm plates almost rectangular with a concave outer edge. Seven thorny arm spines, increasing gradually in length from very small lowermost to the fifth or sixth arm spine, then decreasing in size again; distally lowermost arm spine hooked-shaped. Colour: disc uniform light brown, green, greyish-green to purple or pink; the disc colour was frequently lighter towards the centre to almost white or light pink; some specimens had a deep green circular spot in the centre of the disc; others presented as well small brown to dark green specks; radial shields sometimes almost totally white or having a white distal part (also the base of the arms), mid-way deep green, proximally pink as the rest of the disc arms green to greyish green with stripes (darker brown, greyish green or pink); some individuals had a conspicuous white spot on the dorsal plates; arm spines as the arms; exceptionally, oral surface of the disc orange becoming somewhat darker pinkish in the centre and arms banded yellow and orange with the dorsal plates presenting dark lines forming an irregular pattern (DBUA-ECH 342). Colour (in ethanol): many individuals had lost all colour, presenting a uniform cream colour, though some showed a conspicuous white circular spot in the centre of the dorsal surface of the disc.
