Diagnosis
Boschma 1948 : Corallum forming platelike growths which on their growing edges show numerous branches. As a rule these branches have rounded tops. They m ay unite to for m plates full of openings or to form nearly compact plates. Generally the colonies originate as a regular network with equal meshes which in the older parts gradually become filled. The surface of the corallum is even, the pores as a rule are distinct.
