Description:
|
Characters: Polyps are circular, up to 300 millimetres diameter and not heavily calcified, with a strong central arch. Septa are straight and have very large teeth and a prominent tentacular lobe. Costae are compact, with large branching spines of different sizes on different orders. The undersurface has pits between the costae but few deep perforations.
Colour: Usually brown, sometimes mottled, with pale septal margins and tentacular lobes.
Similar species: Fungia horrida, which does not have prominent tentacular lobes and has pits or perforations on the undersurface. Fungia corona does not have a strong central arch and has a thinner, more irregular polyp disc, with many perforations.
Habitat: Reef slopes and lagoons.
Abundance: Common.
