Description:
Colonies exhibit a tree-like structure, featuring cylindrical branches. Typically, they create dense thickets and have the potential to establish stands consisting of a single species spanning over 10 meters in width. In shallower waters, the branches are short and densely packed while in deeper waters, colonies tend to have more open and spacious branches. Axial corallites protrude and radial corallites take on a tubular form. These radial corallites may be of similar or diverse sizes, arranged in a uniform or irregular pattern.The typical coloration is usually cream, brown or blue, often with light-toned tips on the branches.
