The stony corals non colonial, whose skeleton limestone reaches 0.35 cm vertically, of oval section, at base little, even hardly narrowed. The tentacles comprise at their end a small spherical bludgeon. Polyps: brownish coupler, brownish or pink, the generally ringed oral disc of a brown ring, drawing towards the red (Ref. 358).

Epibenthic (Ref. 87524). Polyps establish in excavations and cracks, at lower levels of rock overhangs and on rock faces, at depths greater than 10 m; seldom in shallow waters (Ref. 358). Occurs along the infralittoral, circalittoral and bathyal zones (Ref. 85338). Found throughout the Mediterranean. Associated with the barnacle Pyrgoma anglicum, as symphoriontes (Ref. 358).
