[1][2] Cyclosteris curvata is a mostly solitary free living scleractinian disc coral found in the indo-pacific region.

Cylosersis curvata polyp structure is composed of strong arches which can be up to 90 millimeters in diameter.

Characteristic of other Anthozoans, they have a large gastrovascular cavity which is divided into walls known as septa, which serve to increase interior surface area.

They continue through a series of metamorphosis forming tentacles, septa, and a pharynx until they ultimately settle as a polyp[2].

Cycloseris curvata have been found to inhabit soft benthic substrates in both inter-reef and reef environments.
