Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. M. Pandolfi 1985 | Mean diameter of corallites is 2.4 mm. Budding individuals appear initially as small rounded tubes. Walls are thin, commonly 0.1 mm, straight in transverse section, and may be straight, slightly curved or corrugated in longitudinal section. Mural pores, 0.1-0.2 mm in diameter, are commonly spaced 0.5-1.0 mm apart in the corallite corners and are rare in the walls. Tabulae are complete and commonly depressed at their margins. Septa! spines are absent. |
