Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| B. Berkowski et al. 2021 | Octocorals possessing coralla forming solitary or branching stems. Central core with parasepta dichotomously dividing adaxially from the central primary paraseptum and forming generations of parasepta. Additional tabulae-like structures may be present in central core. Wall surrounding central core composed of compact calcite layers of a heterotheca or protoheterotheca type |
