Purple Fungia Plate Coral

Purple Fungia Plate Coral - Care Requirements

Purple Fungia Plate Coral is a large-polyp stony coral with a purple plate-coral presentation. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is offered from the Vault for reef keepers seeking a Purple Fungia Plate Coral. Its care profile calls for measured lighting, indirect flow, and room away from surrounding 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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with a gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe its response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

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. Acclimate gradually and choose a position where the coral can remain undisturbed by stronger flow patterns.

Temperament

Leave conservative space from neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary within coral groups, so avoid close contact and monitor nearby corals as the specimen settles in.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized coral food may be offered, while avoiding overfeeding and keeping feeding practices consistent with overall reef maintenance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch tissue condition, placement response, and flow exposure after introduction. Avoid direct aggressive flow, provide room from other corals, and adjust only when observation indicates a need.

Stable conditions, indirect flow, and thoughtful spacing support long-term care.
