Ultra Plate Fungia Coral

Ultra Plate Fungia Coral - Care Requirements

Ultra Plate Fungia Coral is a mushroom-type soft coral with a plate-like presentation. This WYSIWYG coral is offered as the pictured specimen and is suited to reef keepers seeking a mushroom-type soft coral for lower, more protected areas of the aquarium.

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: Low, indirect flow
• Placement: Lower reef areas or protected rockwork
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity, since abrupt lighting changes can stress the coral and limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect water flow. Position it where gentle movement reaches the coral without direct current that keeps the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give the specimen time to settle after placement and adjust its position only if expansion remains limited.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading over time. It is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should have space so expansion does not create contact or crowding.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introducing the coral. Avoid sudden lighting increases, direct flow, and frequent relocation. Moderate care is appropriate when the aquarium provides a consistent, protected environment.

Start with gentle conditions and adjust slowly based on its expansion.
