Large white coral that is somewhat 'V' shaped. Going from bottom to top, the rough texture is uniform with parallel lines running up to the top. The top of the coral can be described as wavy peaks and valleys. The peaks are connected and run into each other. The valleys are composed of similar parallel lines to the outside, running up to the peak.
