Euphyllia baliensis is a species of large-polyped stony coral belonging to the Euphylliidae family.
It is best distinguished from other members of the Euphyllia genus by its "comparatively very small corallites (averaging 3 mm diameter) and much shorter, thinner, lightly calcified branches."
It can be found at depths of 27 to 37 meters off the central eastern coast of Bali, Indonesia. The species has not been reported from any other locality.
