The Fungia spp. (Green Edge) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive green edging and solitary disc-like form. This tiny specimen is tank-bred, ensuring acclimatisation to aquarium conditions and promoting sustainable reefkeeping.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 50-150 are suitable.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to facilitate nutrient exchange and prevent detritus accumulation, avoiding strong currents that may damage the coral’s delicate tissue.
Placement: Position the coral on a sandy substrate or flat rock surface with ample space around it. Fungia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles, so allow sufficient distance from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions are essential.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to support growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing due to potential territorial behaviour.
This tiny tank-bred Fungia spp. offers a striking addition to marine reef aquariums, combining ease of care with unique aesthetics.
