The Green Fungia Coral (Fungia spp) is a captivating solitary LPS coral prized for its vibrant green hues and distinctive disc-like form. This small specimen is perfect for hobbyists looking to add a splash of colour and texture to their marine reef aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate – suitable for aquarists with some experience in LPS coral husbandry.
Lighting: Prefers moderate lighting conditions, such as LED or T5 lighting systems, to maintain optimal coloration without stress.
Water Flow: Low to moderate water flow is ideal to ensure the coral can extend its polyps comfortably without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Place on sandy or rubble substrate away from aggressive neighbours. Provide adequate spacing to prevent stinging or overgrowth from neighbouring corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally peaceful but requires room to expand its tentacles safely.
Additional Notes: As the exact species within the Fungia genus is not specified, conservative care practices are recommended. Maintain stable water parameters and avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow.
