Euphyllia cristata is commonly called Grape coral. E. cristata is a kind of stony or hard coral in the family Euphylliidae; it also belongs to the genus Euphyllia in the order of Scleractinia.[2] E. cristata has a wide range of distribution throughout the tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific area with a large presence in Indonesia.[3] However, despite this large range of distribution, E. cristata has a slightly lower abundance compared to other species, making them a little more uncommon to find.[2][4] They are typically found in shallow waters from 1–35 meters deep.[5][2]
