The assembled mitogenome was 18,880 bp in length, contained 13 protein coding genes, 2 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs. The complete mitogenome of <i>T. bifrons</i> showing 97.09% identities to <i>Tubastraea tagusensis</i>. The complete mitogenome provides essential and important DNA molecular data for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis for coral phylogeny.Mitochondrial DNA.
