Overview
The "Midnight Sun Fungia Coral" is a stunning and unique specimen, featuring a vibrant orange base adorned with striking black patches and bright yellow polyps. This eye-catching coral, with a 6 cm diameter, offers a bold and contrasting color scheme that is sure to captivate the attention of any reef enthusiast. Its vibrant orange tones paired with the dark black patches create a striking visual effect, while the yellow polyps add a pop of brightness.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, the Midnight Sun Fungia Coral thrives in low to moderate water flow and should be placed at the bottom of the tank to allow it to fully spread and showcase its stunning appearance. Its peaceful temperament makes it ideal for placement with other non-aggressive corals, as it will not pose a threat of stinging or overgrowth.
While the Midnight Sun Fungia is primarily photosynthetic, it benefits from occasional supplemental feedings of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or zooplankton, which can help promote growth and bring out the vivid colors of the coral.
To ensure the health and vibrancy of this coral, it is crucial to maintain stable water parameters. Proper calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity levels support skeletal development, while low nitrate and phosphate levels help prevent unwanted algae growth, preserving the beauty of its vibrant color contrast.
