Epifungium twilae has been seen on several occasions on lagoon pinnacles and the eastern atoll lagoon reefs, usually under the fungiid coral Herpolitha limax.
When disturbed, it can release a purple fluid, possibly defensive.
With eggs.
Below is the Herpolitha limax coral under which the Epifungium twilae and egg masses in the previous three photos were found.
