The radial corallites are cone-shaped irregularly spaced, have smooth walls, and are large. It has a smooth coenosteum, and the species is mainly brown or pink-brown. It exists in shallow reefs in marine environments, and at depths of 3 to 15 m (9.8 to 49.2 ft). From specimens in the Red Sea, this species has been shown to live for between thirteen and 24 years. It is composed of

Despite being affected by bleaching, in the northern areas of the Red Sea, the species has avoided most bleaching, with only 6% of reefs being destroyed over recent decades. However, the species did not survive as well in the southern areas of the Red Sea. The species first existed between 0.78 and 0.13
