This genus is parasitic on scleractinian corals (Agaricia agaricites, Dendrogyra cylindrus, Diploria strigosa, Meandrina meandrites, Montastraea cavernosa, Porites astreoides, Porites porites) and is found in the Caribbean.
These resemble young colonies of rose coral (Manicina areolata) and may be found in sandy or muddy areas some way from reefs.
