Description:
Colonies typically exhibit a flat morphology characterized by angular, cerioid corallites with variations in size observed within a given colony. On reef flats, colonies may feature multiple corallites situated in shallow valleys. The septa are densely packed, generally uniform in size and display margins that consistently slope towards the center of the corallite. Columellae are compact and of small size. Regarding coloration, the upper surface of the colonies is typically pale yellow, greenish, or cream, while the sides tend to be dark
