I bet it is not a fungia nad is in fact cycloseris.

Please post a pic of the underside of the skeleton.

yeah thats what i was thinking and why i asked to see a pic of it open

What would the under side look like if its not a fungia? I have 2 that are orange and thought they were fungia! Any help greatly appreciated!

[humanremainz]

when Cycloseris's polyps are open they will be in uniform rows making circles, where as fungia polyps are way more random ..if you can get some pics of them open it is totally easy to tell the difference between Fungia's and Cycloseris's (sp)???

The bottom of cycloseris is much smoother than fungias.
