Living in small clumps, the unbranched stems, gathered at the base, are pale horn coloured and bear a single pale pink polyp. The tentacles form two concentric circles: those of the external circles are longer than those of the oral one. In Spring (mostly), reddish-pink gonothecae grow between the tentacles. There is no medusa released.
