Caulastrea furcata skeletal structure consist of tubular stalks with stars on each tip. As in other colony-forming corals, colonies of Caulastrea furcata are made up of several small polyps. These soft-bodied animals are related to anemones. Each poly bears relatively short tentacles that direct food into its central mouth. Then the food is digested in a sac-like body cavity.
Color: This species is often green, yellow, or greenish brown.
Habitat: This species is usually found in protected reef slopes where the substrate is partly sandy, where it will form extensive single species stands, sometimes over 5 metres across. It has been recorded to depths of at least 30 metres, and may also be found in lagoons.
