🧬 Overview
The Purple Emerald Core Fungia is a collector-grade plate coral prized for its bold colour contrast and impressive size. The combination of deep royal purple with a glowing green mouth creates an almost jewel-like effect, making this piece an instant sandbed centrepiece.

Its wide disc, thick tissue and strong radial structure give it both elegance and power, ideal for high-end LPS displays and minimalist aquascapes where one coral is meant to dominate.

Each XL specimen is selected for:

  • Deep, uniform purple coloration

  • Bright, clearly defined green mouth

  • Thick, healthy tissue and full inflation

  • Clean disc shape with no recession

  • Proven stability and acclimation in reef conditions

A premium option for reefers who want maximum presence, colour contrast and impact.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fungia respond very well to direct feeding and will grow faster and inflate more fully when fed.

Feed 1–2× weekly with:

  • Mysis, chopped shrimp, krill

  • LPS pellets

  • Meaty frozen blends

Target feed after lights out for strongest feeding response.

📈 Optimal Parameters

Parameter Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) 7.5–9
Calcium (Ca) 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) 0.05–0.15 ppm

📍 Placement
Place directly on the sandbed, away from rockwork and other corals to avoid tissue damage.
Ensure gentle, indirect flow so the tissue can fully expand without being lifted or flipped.

Pairs exceptionally well with:

  • Warpaint Trachyphyllia

  • Ultra Orange & Gold & Grey Yumas

  • Acanthastrea and Micromussa

  • Euphyllia gardens as a colour anchor
