🧬 Overview
The Fungia “Leopard Snow” is a unique plate coral prized for its rare spotted pattern and clean contrasting tones. Unlike many high-fluorescence corals, this piece stands out through its intricate natural patterning, giving it a refined and exotic appearance.
As a free-living LPS coral, Fungia species can move slightly across the substrate and inflate their tissue, creating a dynamic and ever-changing presence in the aquarium. When fully expanded, the disc reveals its full pattern complexity, becoming a striking focal point on the sand bed.
This coral is both visually distinctive and relatively hardy, making it suitable for a wide range of reef systems.

• LPS pellets
• Target feeding 1–2 times per week for optimal growth
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place directly on the sand bed where the coral can fully expand without obstruction. Avoid sharp rocks beneath the tissue. Ensure enough space from neighbouring corals, especially at night when feeding tentacles may extend.
