Based on the results obtained in the waters of Mamburit, Fungia paumotensis, General physical characteristics included a hilly colony surface, pointed teeth and small grains and curved corals. Morphological characters show differences from discrete and morphometric characters in each sample where these differences are influenced by the environment
