The Fungia spp. Green Edge is a captivating large polyp stony coral (LPS) from the family Fungiidae, prized for its distinctive disc-like shape and vibrant green edging. This XXL specimen offers a bold statement piece for mature reef aquariums.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Fungia spp. require stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing a PAR range of approximately 50-150 µmol/m²/s. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water movement is preferred. Strong currents can cause tissue damage, while too little flow may lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement: Place on sandy or rubble substrate to allow natural expansion and movement. Ensure ample space around the coral to prevent aggression or damage to neighbouring corals, as Fungia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles at night.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Fungia spp. are generally reef safe with caution. They can coexist with other corals if given sufficient space to avoid aggressive interactions.
Origin and Size: Origin is not provided. This XXL variant can reach substantial sizes, making it suitable for larger reef tanks.
Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential for long-term success with this species.
