Colonies generally encrusting laminar sheets, rarely erect.
Zooids often with extensive gymnocyst, an oval area including a cryptocyst which varies from minimal to extensive.
Spines marginal to area absent or present, and may arch over the frontal membrane forming a protective cover.
Interzooidal communication by septular pores or through pore-chambers.
Avicularia variable in frequency and type: absent in some species, adventitious, interzooecial or vicarious in others.
Ovicells range widely from barely detectable caps to prominent hyperstomial types.
