There are no secondary tentacles, tentacular bulbs, radial canals, or benthic polyps associated with this organism.The gonads are located on the manubrium, and it has a broad velum. The apical mesoglea, a gelatinous layer, is notably thick. The manubrium exhibits eight pouches. Notably, this organism lacks a peripheral canal system.
