Surface layer of the polypary with clubs (Fig. 2D), some featuring a central wart, while in others it is less discernible, or even absent. Clubs vary from 0.10 mm long to 0.25 mm long, and a few with poorly developed heads attain 0.27 mm (Fig. 2E). Surface layer of the colony base contains clubs up to 0.22 mm; some similar to those of polypary, and others have wide heads (Fig. 3A). Polypary

Their polypary is flat and horizontally oriented (Fig. 4A) or funnel-shaped (Fig. 4B), with upper part dark-brown, due to dense zooxanthellae as verified by light microscopy, and lower part brighter, almost white. The flexibility and softness of the living colonies was recognized by their movement in the water currents generated by the ROV arm.</paragraph>
