Short description

 

 

 

   

   Coloring is white, red, pink, blue, purple, and yellow. The disc shape is round, sometimes oval, the slit-shaped mouth is located in the center, surrounded by tentacles. The septa are vertical skeletal elements within the corallite wall, and the ribs connect to the septa and continue outside the corallite wall and under the coral.
