Polyp-mounds prominent, up to 0.7 mm height and 0.8 mm in diameter, arranged mostly in lateral rows along the branchlets and separated by the longitudinal grooves, and more sparsely and irregularly distributed along the thicker branches (Fig. 4B). Colony white to pale pink when alive, gray to dark grayish in ethanol/dry preservation (Fig. 4A). Change in color very conspicuous possibly by liberation of black pigments after collection. Sclerites of coenenchyme white. Sclerite discs conspicuous mostly sharp, serrated and prominent (Fig. 4C, 5

Disc-spindles 0.08-0.12 mm long, and up to 0.06 wide with 4-5 whorls of discs (Fig. 5B); spindles and disc-spindles, longer and thinner up to 0.15 mm long and 0.05 mm wide, with 5-7 whorls of warty tubercles, the ends acute, blunt, or both (Fig. 5A). Double discs up to 0.08 mm long, and 0.05 mm wide with prominent discs (Fig. 5B), some almost complete (Fig. 5B). No crosses, capstans or anthocodial sclerites present in samples.

The specimens present some variation in sclerite color, white sclerites being dominant, but some pale yellow hues could be observed in the samples. In all other aspects they agree with the holotype, including the change of color from bright white alive or recently collected to grayish when fixed. It is interesting that after collection, the specimens discharge a black pigment that turns the water black or the alcohol, and the colony becomes gray. The specimens from Mexico represent the deeper record; they have been observed down to 50 m, meaning that the range of depth extends from 40 to 50 m as it is for
