Description
Flabellum angulare is a solitary coral and does not form colonies. The type specimen was dredged from the seabed at 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) by the Challenger expedition off Nova Scotia, and described in 1876 by the British zoologist Henry Nottidge Moseley. It is a small species a few centimetres in diameter, with a regular pentagonal shape, and a regular arrangement of the septa (stony ridges), with ten septa in the first and second cycles, ten in the third and twenty in the fourth. The corallite is vase-shaped and has a short pedestal. The living coral is pearly white with a glistening surface.
