Pleuractis is a genus of mushroom corals in the family Fungiidae. Members of the genus are found growing on reefs in the Indo-Pacific.

Taxonomy

[edit]

Although treated as a subgenus of Fungia by Hoeksma (1989), a 2011 paper elevated Pleuractis to generic level.[1][2]

Species

[edit]

The World Register of Marine Species currently lists the following species:[3]

  • Pleuractis granulosa (Klunzinger, 1879)
  • Pleuractis gravis (Nemenzo, 1955)
  • Pleuractis moluccensis (Van der Horst, 1919)
  • Pleuractis paumotensis (Stutchbury, 1833)
  • Pleuractis seychellensis (Hoeksema, 1993)
  • Pleuractis taiwanensis (Hoeksema and Dai, 1991)
