Diagnosis Simple, free, cupolate, ahermatypic. No corallite wall, the costae alternating in position with septa, beaded or smooth, fixed to septa by regularly spaced simple synapticulae. Septa composed of one fan system of simple trabeculae, perforate, margins dentate. Dissepiments sparse or absent. Synapticulae simple, mostly in costal region present. Columella trabecular.
