is 2.8 cm long. A holdfast or anastomoses are not present. The polyps are situated on one side of the colony. The calyces are dome-shaped, about 0.5 mm high and 1 mm wide; most polyps are retracted. Points with slightly bent spindles up to 0.25 mm long, distal end with more developed tubercles (Fig. 76a). Collaret with bent spindles up to 0.40 mm long, middle part with more developed tubercles (Fig. 76b). Tentacles with platelets, the larger ones crescent-shaped (Fig. 76c). These platelets are up to 0.15 mm long and have almost no tuberculation. Pharynx with straight spiny rods, up to 0.05 mm long (Fig. 76d). Coenenchyme with capstans 0.05-0.07 mm long, unilaterally spinose spindles (Fig. 77b), small clubs of the same length as the capstans, and spindles 0.10-0.20 mm long (Fig. 77a); all with simple tubercles. The calyces with additional leaf clubs, up to 0.15 mm long (Fig. 76e).
