Notes
Colonies are fan-shaped and uniplanar. Branches display a high degree of anastomoses, forming net-like fans. Stalks are always attached to hard substrates. Colouration ranges from red to orange and yellow. Some colonies are larger than 2 m across. Often with crinoids commensals. The three known species of Annella are distinguished by the shape of the mesh (elongate or polygonal) (Fig. 65).
