Fungia sp. - Orange - Small

$90.00

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
