Family Helioporidae Moseley, 1876 Description. The family encompasses genera that form small plocoid colonies. The corallites are small (generally below 2 mm in diameter). The structure is simple because it is only made up of trabeculae and tabulae. The so-called septa are just short wing-like extensions of the trabeculae that reach into the corallites. Pali, a columella or synapticulae do not exist. The tabulae cross corallites and coenosteum in the same level. The coenosteum is formed by trabeculae and is granulated on its surface.
