Danafungia scruposa is a species of coral that is the first to have been observed to eat jellyfish.

During an algal bloom in 2009 researchers observed the coral consuming the jellyfish Aurelia aurita.

[3] This coral is unusual in that it consists of a single oval or circular polyp up to 38 centimetres (15 in) across.

[1] No population figures are available for the species but it is believed to be common and is found at depths between 1 and 27 metres (3 and 89 ft) on the slopes of reefs.

It is threatened by bleaching, disease, climate change, fishing, preadators, and human activities.
