Description: Corals are solitary, free-living, flat or dome-shaped, circular or slightly oval in outline, with a central mouth. Septa have fine teeth, costae are fine, without undersurface pits. Polyps are usually extended only at night. Fine tentacles cover the upper surface of the disc. (Veron, 1986 <57>) [details] Remark: Type species: Fungia cyclolites Lamarck, 1816 (Veron, 1986).
