Green Fungias are hardy corals, and generally easy to care for - Consumes Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium and trace elements out of the water column to grow and thrive. Requires monitoring of basic chemistry.
This particular Green fungia was grown from an anthocauli from the stressed mother colony in my 40 gallon all in one. The mother survived, and the plate grew from a small spawn on the mother, and then eventually detached.
Size: 2” across - grown from spawn
Light: low to moderately low light: 80-120 PAR. Should be moved up slowly if placed towards upper range. Regularly kept on the sand bad without issue.
Flow: Low to moderately low indirect flow. Keep detritus off their mantle without disrupting their thin flesh from expanding. Too high of flow can cause a fungia to cut it’s flesh on it’s skeleton, and it will recede to protect itself, which will heavily reduce feeding opportunity.
Temperament: Semi Aggressive - Tentacles are short, but capable of stinging nearby corals when inflated. Fungia corals can inflate to become more buoyant to make minor adjustments.
Scientific Classification: Fungiidae Fungia
