🧬 Overview
The Emerald Disc Fungia is a reef staple — elegant, hardy, and endlessly captivating. Its glowing green fluorescence under blue lighting makes it a perfect centrepiece or accent coral. A single polyp can transform a quiet sandbed into a vivid display of life and movement.

Ideal for both beginners and seasoned collectors, this coral’s self-sufficient, free-living nature allows it to thrive even in lower-nutrient systems. Its simplicity and colour brilliance make it an essential addition to any display.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fungia corals are photosynthetic but benefit from occasional feeding 1–2 times per week. Offer small foods like Reef Roids, Marine Snow, or finely chopped Mysis to promote tissue growth and longevity. Ensure stable nutrients and trace elements (iron and manganese) to maintain colour intensity.

📈 Optimal Parameters

📍 Placement
Place directly on a soft sandbed in gentle flow. Avoid rock contact or strong current that could irritate tissue. Allow space for the coral to expand freely — it may move slightly across the substrate over time.
