The Fungia spp. (Oval Green) is a captivating solitary large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its distinctive oval shape and vibrant green hues. This tiny Tank-Bred specimen is an excellent addition to marine reef aquariums, offering both visual appeal and manageable care requirements.
Care Level
Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in LPS coral care, this species benefits from stable water parameters and moderate lighting.
Lighting Requirements
Provide moderate lighting, such as LED or T5 fixtures, to support healthy growth without causing bleaching. Avoid intense direct light.
Water Flow
Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal. Strong currents can damage the delicate tissue, while stagnant water may lead to detritus accumulation.
Placement
Place the coral on sandy or rubble substrate to allow it to rest naturally. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and tissue damage.
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 and Reef Safety
Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Additional Notes
As a solitary coral, Fungia spp. can expand and move slightly on the substrate. Regular monitoring is recommended to ensure it remains in a suitable location within the tank.
