| Notes |
Biology: zooxanthellate, sedentary [details] Description: Colonies are attached, encrusting or laminar, unifacial, up to 1.5 m across. A central corallite is sometimes distinguishable. Septo-costae are similar to those of Fungia (Verrillofungia). Polyps may be extended day or night. Colour: dark-coloured, except for the septo-costae which are cream. Abundance: found in most reef habitats, but is seldom abundant. (Veron, 1986 <57>) [details] Type locality: Mare Americanum. Neotype from Thousand Islands, Java Sea, Indonesia.
