description
Measurements. AzOr inside diameter, 0.06 – 0.10 (0.082 ± 0.012) (n = 15). Description. Young colony with about 24 zooids, forming a recumbent lobe. Zooids with openings circular, irregularly polygonal, or transversely elliptical; singly arranged or in connate bundles of two; surface perforated by minute pseudopores. Peristomes probably tall, but broken in most zooids. Ancestrula and reproductive structures not observed.
discussion
Remarks. Without a more fully developed colony and reproductive structures, this specimen can only tentatively be identified to genus Tubulipora, and not at all to species.
