Fungiidae
The Fungiidae are a family of Cnidaria, often known as mushroom corals. The family contains thirteen extant genera. They range from solitary corals to colonial species. Some genera such as ''Cycloseris'' and ''Fungia'' are solitary organisms, ''Polyphyllia'' consists of a single organism with multiple mouths, and ''Ctenactis'' and ''Herpolitha'' might be considered as solitary organisms with multiple mouths or a colony of individuals, each with its separate mouth. ==Characteristics==
Species are generally solitary marine animals capable of benthic locomotion.〔Halstead, Bob. 2000. ''Coral Sea Reef Guide''. Sea Challengers, Danville, CA, USA.〕 These corals often appear to be bleached or dead. In most genera, a single polyp emerges from the center of the skeleton to feed at night. Most species remain fully detached from the substrate in adulthood. Some are immobile as well as colonial.
