This species forms incrustations on f uci and corallines. 

 It is of a yellowish-brown colour, and is soft and fleshy. 

 Sometimes it is found erect. The surface appears 

 granular from the numerous papillae which are scattered 

 over it. It often forms palmate or lobed expansions, 

 5 or 6 inches long. It is said that " after being coated 

 with ice, should they be immersed in sea water, the 

 polypes will protrude their feelers and appear as active 

 as if they had not been subjected to any such treat- 

 ment."
