Corallites are small (4-6 mm diameter), strongly inclined on the laminae and are sometimes arranged concentrically. Septo-costae are compact, in 2 or 3 orders and have ornamented spines.

Colour: Tan or pinkish, with pale margins to laminae.

Reef environments protected from strong wave action. In nature the robokaki chalice is found in moderate energy environments that are not too bright, not too clean and not to much water flow.
