Husbandry
Description: Colonies may form a continuous cover over the substrate many metres across although individual colonies are seldom over one metre across. Colonies have the same skeletal structure as Euphyllia divisa. Polyps have large tubular tentacles with few or no branchlets but with anchor, hammer or T-shaped tips.
Color: Blue-grey to orange, usually with pale cream or green outer borders to the tentacles.
