Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. M. Pandolfi 1985 | Coralla are hemispherical and have hexagonal corallites with a mean diameter of 2.2 mm. Walls are 0.2 mm thick and either straight or curved in longitu dinal section. Mural pores are abundant in both corallite walls and corners. Mural pores are commonly 0.1-0.2 mm in diameter, although where they occur in the corallite wall they may reach a diameter of 0.3 mm. Pores in the wall are between 0.8 and 1.0 mm apart in a single row, or irregularly scattered. Pores at the corners are set in small poral processes and are commonly 0.5 mm apart, but three may occur in 1.0 mm. Septal spines may be present. Tabulae, where preserved, are variable in form. |
