Dimensions. Great diameter of corallites: 4.5– 7 mm, in areas of intense budding around 3.5 mm; distance of corallite centers: 6–9 mm, in areas of intense budding the distance is around 4 mm; septa/corallite: 6 + 6 + 12.

Description. Massive to subhemispherical, plocoid to cerio-plocoid colony; corallites are circular to elongate in outline; costosepta are very short and spine-like, developed in two to three complete cycles in 6 systems.
