Fungia Plate Coral

Fungia Plate Coral - Care Requirements

Fungia Plate Coral is a large-polyp stony coral suited to lower and middle reef areas. This WYSIWYG Fungia Plate Coral is an LPS selection from the Vault. Its care calls for measured placement, indirect water movement, and stable reef conditions that protect fleshy tissue.

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. Begin with a gentler location and observe its response before making gradual adjustments to a brighter position.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow, choosing a position where it will not be crowded.

Temperament

Leave conservative space around it. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close neighboring corals and allow room to reduce contact risk.

Feeding

Offer appropriately sized coral food occasionally if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be introduced carefully to avoid excess waste.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and monitor the coral after placement or changes in flow and lighting. Avoid abrupt adjustments, keep direct aggressive flow off the fleshy tissue, and give it time to settle into its location.

Steady placement and gentle observation support long-term care.
