Overall colour grey‑white, pale grey, or grey‑buff, sometimes with faint brownish or smoky tones. Texture brittle, snapping cleanly.
Apex: Rounded or bluntly forked; tips usually paler than the branches, sometimes almost white.
Colour: Grey‑white, pale grey, grey‑buff, or cream‑grey; drying paler or slightly yellowish.
Surface: Smooth to faintly pruinose; occasionally with very fine hispid or roughened patches under magnification (the feature behind the epithet hispidulosa). Older branches may show slight wrinkling.
Base: Short, compact, whitish; not distinctly stalked.
Size: Clusters 20–60 mm tall and 10–40 mm wide.
Growth habit: Solitary or in small scattered groups; often forming loose tufts rather than dense corals.
