Coralloconchus is a genus of cornulitid tubeworms with small, slender, irregularly curved conical tubes with slowly increasing diameter. Tubes have thin walls and a smooth lumen. Tube wall has a lamellar microstructure. Tubes are devoid of septa and vesicles in the adult part and are not spirally coiled.{{cite journal | author = Vinn, O. |author2=Mõtus, M.-A. | year = 2008 | title = The earliest endosymbiotic mineralized tubeworms from the Silurian of Podolia, Ukraine | journal = Journal of Paleontology | volume = 82 | issue = 2 | pages = 409–414 | url = https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222089801 | accessdate = 2012-11-20 | doi=10.1666/07-056.1 |bibcode=2008JPal...82..409V |s2cid=131651974
