in diameter), stellate, with 9–11 conical, pointed or chisel-shaped rays in optical transverse section. The common cloacal cavity is large and posterior abdominal. Zooids are large, attached firmly in the test and impossible to remove. Branchial and atrial siphons are long, with strong circular muscles around them. Four fine longitudinal muscles are in the parietal body wall on each side of the thorax. The branchial tentacles project up into a chamber at the base of the branchial siphon. Fourteen stigmata are in the anterior row of four in the branchial sac. The gut loop is horizontal behind the thorax. Gonads were not detected. Larvae are not known.

. Colonies form robust, tough (but never hard or brittle) sheets with randomly placed common cloacal openings on elevations of the surface. In preservative the colonies are pinkish brown or beige. Branchial apertures are evenly spaced. Secondary common cloacal canals are oesophageal although the primary canals extend the full length of the zooids and extend into posterior abdominal cavities. A thin spicule-free layer of test is on the surface and another of variable thickness (never more than one-third of the thickness of the colony) is on the base of the colony. Elsewhere spicules are evenly distributed, though not very crowded. The newly recorded colony from Coff ’s Harbour has ridges up to

The lack of a quilted pattern on the surface distinguishes the species from others with similar spicules.
