The large, massive, bushy colonies can reach a height of up to one metre with profuse regular bifurcate branching. The branching can be sparse or very abundant. The branches are smooth, round and relatively thick with bulbous or pointy branch tips. The polyps are distributed on all sides of the branches and over the entire length of the colonies. They can retract into pits below the smooth branch surface. Colonies are cream, pinkish-brown, olive-brown to brown with yellow to brown polyps. The colonies have a wiry, black, flexible axis of gorgonin. The sclerites are clubs and girdled spindles and are colourless. The corals are azooxanthellate.
