Description:
Septa are plentiful and lack a specific cyclical arrangement. The colonies typically take on a phaceloid structure, occasionally appearing subplocoid. They feature small, rounded tooth-like structures. During daylight hours, the mantles are extended, potentially forming a continuous surface that conceals the underlying growth structure, although tentacles remain retracted.
