Fungia Plate Coral is a large-polyp stony coral suited to lower and middle reef areas. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is offered from the Vault and is intended for reef keepers seeking a plate coral with moderate-care requirements.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Allow space from neighboring corals
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively during acclimation, then observe the coral’s response before making gradual adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the area refreshed without directing aggressive flow across fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to acclimate and avoid positioning it where current is concentrated.

Temperament

Allow conservative space from neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so leave room to reduce contact and potential stinging.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food can be offered when practical, without making feeding a required routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe tissue response, placement, and flow after introduction. Avoid abrupt changes, keep direct aggressive current off fleshy tissue, and adjust gradually if the coral appears unsettled.

Provide stable conditions, gentle acclimation, and room from nearby corals.
