They're actually under the Euphyllidae family, not Caryophylliidae. Caryophylliidae is an azooxanthellate family I think.Just a note:

- Euphyllia paraancora (Reclassified as Fimbriaphyllia paraancora)Veron, 1990 – branching hammer coral
- Euphyllia paradivisa (Reclassified as Fimbriaphyllia paradivisa)Veron, 1990 – branching frogspawn coral
