A Vibrant Purple-Yellow Fungia Plate Coral for Your Reef

Introduce a stunning centerpiece to your reef aquarium with this captivating Fungia plate coral, showcasing a unique blend of purple and yellow hues.

Overview

The Fungia plate coral, with its striking disc-like shape and vibrant coloration, is a beloved addition to many reef aquariums. This particular variant boasts a beautiful contrast of purple and yellow, making it a true eye-catcher. As a solitary polyp, it rests on the sandbed and can even move slightly by inflating its tissues, seeking optimal conditions. Its tentacles, usually extended at night, are used for capturing food particles from the water column.

Care Level

Fungia plate corals are generally considered easy to moderate in care. They are hardy and adaptable, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. However, stability in water parameters is crucial to prevent stress and ensure their well-being.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 50 gallons (approximately 190 litres) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature between 23-27°C (74-81°F), a specific gravity of 1.024-1.026, and a pH of 8.1-8.4. Moderate lighting (100-250 PAR) and low to moderate water flow are ideal.

Diet

Fungia plate corals benefit from both photosynthesis and supplemental feedings. Offer small, meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or brine shrimp a few times per week.
