Fungia
''Fungia'' is a genus of mushroom, disc or plate corals in the family Fungiidae. Members of the genus are found growing on reefs in the Indo-Pacific.〔
==Description==
Corals in the genus ''Fungia'' are mostly solitary, some attaining in diameter. However ''Fungia simplex'' is colonial.〔 The juveniles attach themselves to rock but larger individuals detach themselves and become free living. They are found in various bright colours including white, pink, red, purple, blue and yellow and are popular with keepers of reef aquariums.〔(''Fungia'' coral species ) Retrieved 2011-12-13.〕 The discs are either round or oval and the central mouth, which is surrounded by tentacles, may be a slit. The polyp sits in a calcareous cup, the corallite. The septa are vertical skeletal elements inside the corallite wall and the costae join the septae and continue outside the corallite wall and underneath the coral. In the genus ''Fungia'', both the septae and costae are robust and the spines and teeth found on them are characteristic of the different species. Members of the genus ''Fungia'' may be confused with specimens of the related genus ''Cycloseris'' but the latter are always free living, even as juveniles, while the former bear a scar showing where they were attached when young.〔(''Fungia'' ) The Coral Hub.
