The Fungia Plate Coral is a relatively hard to find coral that originates from the Indo Pacific. These corals are found free living within the rubble zones of the reef, and have the ability to inflate themselves to both maximize light exposure, and to keep from being covered in sand.

This particular type is called self-fragging because it will split off on it's own. It requires moderate light and low to moderate waterflow and does well on the bottom of the tank. Although relying on the products of their zooxanthellae, they should also be fed phytoplankton and zooplankton, as well as other products like Coral Feast and Reef Energy or other amino acids and probiotics.. Of course, you should always maintain proper water parameters by maintaining good calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels.
