The surface of the frontal side is formed by autozooidal tubes with circular, terminal apertures, and many kenozooids (sometimes called cancelli or vacuoles) between them. The abfrontal side is formed by kenozooids only. Gonozooid large, always situated on the abfrontal side of the colony, deeply immersed(according to Hayward and Ryland 1985, modified by Zágoršek, 2010).
