Description Colonies examined range in length from 185 mm to 650 mm. Colonies are upright, branching is dichotomous and planar. Branches arise from a single basal main stem. Branches straight or slightly curved, not conspicuously sinuous. Anastomosis apparently does not occur. Branches are conspicuously flattened in the proximal region of the colony. These often have a series of longitudinal lines evident on the surface. The plane of the flattened branches is parallel to the plane of colony. The distal regions of the ultimate branches are cylindrical, sometimes slightly flattened. Polyps present on all sides of branches, forming hemispherical calyces or totally retracting into coenenchyme, forming slits. Fig. 23. Eunicella albicans (Kolliker, 1865). Coenenchymal sclerites.
