Sunset Fungia Plate Coral

Sunset Fungia Plate Coral - Care Requirements

Sunset Fungia Plate Coral is a large-polyp stony coral with an LPS coral care profile. This WYSIWYG Vault coral is suited to reef keepers seeking a plate coral with moderate LPS care needs. Provide a stable reef environment, gentle acclimation, and room around the specimen as it settles into its new placement.

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. Begin under gentler light during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while watching tissue response and overall appearance.

Flow

Provide moderate indirect flow. Water movement should keep debris from settling without directing aggressive flow across the fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a stable location where the coral has open space and is not exposed to harsh direct flow.

Temperament

Leave conservative space from neighboring corals. Exact aggression can vary by coral group, so avoid close contact and give the coral room to prevent potential stinging or tissue damage.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Offer occasional appropriately sized coral food if desired, and avoid overfeeding or allowing food to accumulate around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral regularly after introduction or placement changes. Avoid sudden shifts in lighting or flow, keep debris from collecting on tissue, and respond to signs of irritation by reassessing its location.

Steady conditions, indirect flow, and open spacing support long-term care.
