The Umbrella Corallimorph has a wide, flattened oral disc that spreads like an umbrella. Short, block-shaped tentacles form a ring around the outer edge of the disc. Its color ranges from light green to olive or dark brown, and the surface often shows streaks or irregular blotches.
This Corallimorph attaches to hard surfaces and remains fixed in place.
