Add a brilliant splash of orange to your reef aquarium with this Tangerine Fungia Plate Coral. Its intense tangerine coloration, textured skeletal pattern and fleshy appearance make it an eye-catching centerpiece for an open sand bed.
This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the product photographs is the exact specimen you will receive.
WYSIWYG – What You See Is What You Get
You will receive the exact Tangerine Fungia Plate Coral pictured. Egg-crate squares shown in the photographs measure approximately ¾ inch and may be used to estimate the coral’s size.
Only one specimen is available unless otherwise stated. Coloration may appear slightly different depending on aquarium lighting, photography, screen settings and viewing conditions.

Placement and Feeding
Place the Tangerine Fungia Plate Coral on a flat, open section of the sand bed. Avoid placing it directly on sharp or uneven rockwork because its delicate underside and soft tissue may become damaged.
Plate corals can inflate themselves and slowly reposition within the aquarium. Leave adequate space between this coral and neighboring livestock to prevent contact or stinging.
Although this coral receives much of its nutrition through photosynthesis, occasional target feeding with finely chopped meaty marine foods or a suitable LPS coral food may support healthy growth and coloration.
