Diagnosis

Presence of wart-like growths, called verrucae, which cover the colonies.
Colonies are composed of uniform sprawling branches with small uniform verrucae.
Colour: Usually cream, or pink.
Abundance: Uncommon except on exposed reef fronts and Coral Sea reefs.
Colonies may be over 1 m in diameter
