Fungiidae or Fungiid corals are the most motile and beautiful large-polyped stony (LPS) corals for marine hobbyist. Although all stony corals are hermatypic, Fungiidae corals are typically considered to be non-reef building. Fungiids are solitary corals and they consist of only one polyp. They either resemble a disc or dome covered with tentacles. Disc corals are symbiotic meaning they contain zooxanthellae & gain a portion of their energy from photosynthesis.
