The polyps are rather sparse and evenly distributed. They are monomorphic, large, and when completely retracted, leave a prominent coenenchymal mound on the surface of the polyparium. All polyps are tightly retracted—as they were at the time of collection—and occupy most of the interior of the polyparium.

The colour did not change on deck or in alcohol. In preserved specimens the surface and internal coenenchymal sclerites are pale-yellow to colourless, the sclerites of the polyp mounds are red, and the interior coenenchyme is white.
