Lithophyllon repanda

Lithophyllon repanda is a species of mushroom or disc coral in the family Fungiidae.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) rated it as a least-concern species, and it was originally described by James Dwight Dana in 1846.

[1] It is found in the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, the southwestern and northern Indian Ocean, eastern Africa, northern, eastern, and western Australia, the East China Sea, Japan, and the western and central Pacific Ocean.

It is threatened by coral disease, climate change, bleaching, predators, human activity, fishing, and parasites.

A 1991 study discovered that 75% of observed specimens were bleached due to rising sea temperatures.
