[1] Caulastraea furcata skeletal structure consist of tubular stalks with stars on each tip.

As in other colony-forming corals, colonies of C. furcata are made up of several large polyps.

Each polyp bears relatively short tentacles that direct food into its central mouth.

[2] Caulastraea furcata can be found in the Indo-Pacific from Fiji to Australia and possibly further west toward Thailand.

[5][6][7] Caulastraea furcata usually obtains most of its nutrient requirements from the photosynthesis of the single-celled algae called zooxanthellae living in its tissue.
