The Small Orange Fungia is a free-living plate coral with a round to oval body, raised skeletal ridges, and vivid orange coloration. Unlike attached corals, a healthy Fungia can inflate its tissue and slowly reposition itself across the substrate.
Key benefits:
Bright Orange Color: Creates a strong focal point along the aquarium floor.
Distinct Plate Shape: Adds a growth form that contrasts with branching and encrusting corals.
Visible Feeding Response: May extend tentacles and accept small reef foods.
Specifications:
Scientific Name: Fungia sp.
Common Name: Orange Plate Coral
Coral Type: Large-polyp stony coral
Care Level: Moderate
Size: Small
Lighting: Moderate
Water Flow: Low to moderate
Placement: Open sand bed
Temperament: Aggressive
Color: Orange
Suggested use: Place directly on an open sand bed rather than unstable rockwork. Leave room for inflation and movement, and prevent sand or debris from remaining on the coral’s tissue.
