The axial mouth is well defined and the outer surface is covered with small peripheral mouths separated by septa of variable length. There are no tentacular lobes.
Colour: Pale brown.
Similar Species: Septa are Herpolitha-like, otherwise the species resembles Fungia scabra.
Habitat: Reef slopes and lagoons.
Abundance: Uncommon.
Taxonomic Note: Considered a synonyn of Fungia fungites by Hoeksema (2015: WoRMS, Fungia puishani). However, it is closer to Fungia scabra.
