Notes
Colonies are thickly encrusting, sub-massive, plating. Maximum recorded size: 1.2 m across. Corallites are extremely small (0.25 to 1.0 mm) and thus not visible on video footage. Very rough, grainy texture, often with several bumps on colony surface. Colours ranging from beige to dark shades of brown, some species with variable additional pigmentation like purple, red and violet (Fig. 77).
