外观Pachyseris Inattesa通常是像平板一样瘦肉but the surface detail can vary depending on the habitat which varies from exposed reef slopes to beneath overhangs and caves at a depth between 10 and 35 meters (33 to 115 feet). In well sunlit exposed environments the surface ofP. Inattesahas a well developed surface detail giving it a wrinkled appearance, not unlikeleptoseris mycetoseroides。同时,在较少可用的光线的更庇护的环境中,或者珊瑚在倾斜的地方生长,表面细节往往会发展出更平滑的外观。
像大多数物种Pachyseris,P。Inattesa不会在外观和颜色上赢得任何水族馆的美容大赛,其纸巾通常是灰色至浅棕色的,有时会带有浅绿色的色调。平均菌落P. Inattesathat were encountered ranged between 10 and 25 cm in diameter (4 and 12 inches) and the general trend of the growth shape was to follow the underlying reef substrate.
