Remarks. Originally described from the coasts of Peru the species is now recorded from Central Chile. It is characterized by hard massive colonies with distinctive circular, oval, or somewhat irregular systems of zooids separated by ridges of the test. The colonies and zooids resemble Atlantic species A. stellatum (Verrill, 1871) , see Sanamyan & Schories (2004) and Sanamyan & Gleason (2009) for details.
