The coenosteum commonly has Hydnophora-like monticules. Septo-costae are thin and equal, giving colonies a smooth surface. Columellae are small styles.
Colour: Pale to dark brown or greenish-brown.
Habitat: Shallow reef environments.
Abundance: Uncommon.
Similar species: Leptoseris hawaiiensis , Leptoseris mycetoseroides
