. In the Indian papers the colonies are described as having thick, “whip-like” branches with blunt tips, which somewhat matches the illustration of the collected specimen where the terminal branches actually appear to be thin and tapered (“whip-like”). This is all in contrast to the non-tapering branches of

The Indian material is also described as being “dirty white to grey in colour when live”. The species is photosynthetic and so this is possibly the colour when colonies have their polyps extended.

Of particular note are the subsurface spindles figured in the Indian account that bear little resemblance to the very characteristic girdled form shown by Alderslade and also in Bayers figure 2a. Additionally, the small “four radiates” and capstans illustrated for the Indian material are not reported for this species.
