Fungia Plate Coral

Fungia Plate Coral - Care Requirements

Fungia Plate Coral is a large-polyp stony coral with a fleshy plate-like form. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is suited to reef keepers seeking a distinctive plate coral for a lower to middle reef area. Its fleshy tissue calls for thoughtful placement, indirect flow, and stable conditions.

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 with a gentler position and adjust gradually while watching tissue appearance and overall response.

Flow

Use moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep the coral clear without directing aggressive flow across its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room around it. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow position.

Temperament

Leave conservative space between this coral and neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary, so avoid close placement and monitor nearby tissue for contact or irritation.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional appropriately sized coral food may be offered. Feed carefully and avoid allowing food to collect on the tissue.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral regularly for changes in tissue response. Avoid sudden placement changes, direct turbulent flow, and crowding from neighboring corals. Make adjustments gradually to support consistent acclimation.

Give it open space, indirect flow, and time to settle in.
