The fragile mushroom coral Halomitra clavator Hoeksema, 1989 (Scleractinia: Fungiidae) is known from only a few localities in the central Indo-Pacific (Hoeksema 1989, 1993). It can be distinguished from its more common and widespread congener, H. pileus (Linnaeus, 1758), by its thinner corallum, club-shaped septal spines (opposed to sharp), and cream-coloured coral margin (opposed to violet, Fig. 1).
