The Fungia spp. (Pink Edge) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its distinctive pink rim and solitary disc-like shape. This medium-sized specimen adds vibrant colour and unique texture to reef tanks.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain its vivid pigmentation without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure proper gas exchange and prevent detritus accumulation on the coral surface.
Placement: Position the Fungia spp. on a sandy substrate or flat rock surface with ample space around it, as it can extend sweeper tentacles that may sting neighbouring corals. Adequate spacing is essential to avoid aggression.
Diet: While primarily photosynthetic, this coral benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods to support growth and colour.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution. Avoid placing near delicate or slow-growing corals due to its potential to sting with sweeper tentacles.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists familiar with LPS coral husbandry.
