Fungia spp. (Pink Edge) | XXL

The Fungia spp. (Pink Edge) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive pink-edged disc and solitary growth form. This extra extra large specimen makes a dramatic focal point in mature reef aquariums.

Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.

Placement: Position on sandy or rubble substrate away from aggressive neighbours. Allow ample space around the coral to accommodate its expansion and avoid contact with other corals, as Fungia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its size and specific husbandry needs.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods once or twice weekly.

Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; ensure adequate spacing to prevent coral warfare. Avoid placing near delicate or slow-growing corals.

This Fungia spp. specimen is sourced responsibly and is a striking addition to any large marine aquarium, providing both visual appeal and biological interest.
