    Fungiidae - Wikipedia

    The Fungiidae are a family of Cnidaria, commonly known as mushroom corals or plate 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 … See more

    Species are generally solitary marine animals capable of benthic locomotion. 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 … See more

    The Fungiidae are mushroom corals that live in sublittoral habitats in the tropical Indo-Pacific. Their habitats are part of coral reefs or other marine substrata, which usually can be found in the proximity of the reefs.
    Fungiidae exhibit a wide range of evolutionary divergence and rich species diversity, and the latest morphological and molecular taxonomy studies have identified 17 genera and approximately 55 species within this family ( 59 ). Previous studies have found that Fungiidae are highly adapted to thermal stresses.
    Fungiidae, also known as mushroom corals, were established by Dana in 1846 ( 57 ). According to Wells, Fungiidae originated from the extinct Synastridae (Hexacorallia) in the mid-Cretaceous period ( 57, 58 ).
    In addition, Fungiidae have a unique survival strategy, with most species being able to migrate between habitats during the free-living phase ( 59, 76, 77 ). This unique mobility may improve genetic connectivity between coral hosts and provide more opportunities for sharing symbionts ( 78 ).
