Description
Noble corals are pink or orange and tree-like with paler tips to the colony's branches. The calcareous colonies may grow to over 25 cm in total height, while individual polyps are 0.1 cm in diameter. There is no free medusa stage. The polyps project from star-shaped cavities in the rigid calcareous skeleton. Growth occurs at the tips and on the outside surface, which gradually thickens and which may show concentric rings in section.
