Fungia Plate Coral

Fungia Plate Coral - Care Requirements

Fungia Plate Coral is a large-polyp stony coral suited to a lower or middle reef placement. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is offered as the pictured specimen. Its care profile calls for measured lighting, indirect water movement, and room around nearby corals.

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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions, and observe its response before making further changes.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the area gently refreshed without blasting directly across fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location, then allow time to settle before adjusting placement or lighting.

Temperament

Allow conservative space from neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid crowding and watch nearby coral interactions as it settles.

Feeding

Offer occasional appropriately sized coral food if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize stable conditions and observe the specimen's response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid sudden changes. Check that flow remains indirect, keep surrounding corals from encroaching, and monitor tissue response after placement, feeding, or lighting adjustments.

Give this plate coral stable conditions and space to settle in.
