Neon Green Plate Coral

Fungia corals are found in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and various locations in the Pacific Ocean. They are typically found in shallow reef areas, often attached to the substrate or free-living on the sandy bottom. Like most corals, Fungia corals have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae algae. These algae live within the coral's tissues and provide them with energy through photosynthesis. Fungia corals rely on photosynthesis for a significant portion of their nutritional needs, but they also have the ability to capture small prey using their tentacles. Fungia corals can be sensitive to elevated levels of copper, which can be harmful to their health. It is important to maintain proper water quality and avoid the use of copper-based medications or treatments in aquariums containing Fungia corals. Fungia corals are generally considered to be relatively easy to care for in a well-maintained reef aquarium. They require stable water parameters, including temperature, salinity, and nutrient levels. Fungia corals prefer low to moderate water flow and moderate lighting levels in the aquarium. Fungia corals are disc shaped with a central mouth. Fungia corals have the ability to move across the substrate by inflating or deflating their bodies, using water to propel themselves. They can also reproduce through asexual means, with the parent coral dividing and forming new individuals. Fungia corals add visual interest and a unique shape to reef displays. They are generally considered peaceful and can coexist with a wide range of tank mates, including other corals, invertebrates, and small fish. Fungia corals can be fed with small meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp or other finely chopped seafood, to supplement their nutritional needs. It's important to provide adequate space between Fungia corals and other corals in the aquarium, as they can extend their sweeper tentacles at night, which can sting and potentially harm nearby corals. Additionally, Fungia corals should be placed on a stable substrate to prevent them from tipping over or getting buried in the sand. With proper care and suitable aquarium conditions, Fungia corals can thrive and become a captivating addition to your reef aquarium. They are known for their hardiness and adaptability, making them a popular choice for both beginner and experienced reef enthusiasts. Corals will benefit from the addition of Calcium, Strontium, Iodine, Magnesium and Trace Elements.

Fungia Corals are also known as plate or disk corals. Commonly seen in the aquarium trade. They come in a wide range of colors, including shades of brown, green, blue, purple, and orange. Some species even exhibit fluorescent pigments under actinic lighting, which can create stunning visual effects. Fungia Corals will vary greatly in size and formation.
