Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H. M. Khalil et al. 2021 | Colonies are commonly irregular, usually submassive or encrusting and helmet-shaped, with neatly scalloped lower margins.
Budding is both intra- and extratentacular. Corallites are angular or irregularly polygonal and characteristically aligned in short shallow radiating valleys at the colony margin (about 12 to 16 mm in diameters and up to 10 mm deep). The walls are high, thin and acute at the top. The septa are very low, thin and narrow with equidistant serration at the edges and bear a conspicuous ring of paliform lobes around the columella. |
