Pocillopora fungiformis is a species of colonial stony coral in the family Pocilloporidae.

larger colonies additionally have bifurcating upright or sloping branches which tend to have flattened ends, and which can grow to 20 cm (8 in) in length.

Irregular verrucae (lumpy skeletal outgrowths) grow on the surface of the coral, and on branches growing at oblique angles, the verrucae are more abundant on the upper side.

It prefers shallow reef habitats with strong water movement, to a maximum depth of 15 m (49 ft).

It is particularly susceptible to bleaching and coral diseases and the reefs where it lives are under threat.
