🧬 Overview
The Inferno Sunburst Fungia is a radiant disc coral that commands attention with its glowing orange plate and vividly lit mouth. Each coral is a living ember, shimmering with metallic orange tones and subtle golden reflections that intensify under reef lighting.
Perfect for adding movement and fire to lower sections of the reef, this coral thrives independently and inflates beautifully when settled. Its long-term hardiness and minimal care requirements make it a top choice for both beginners and advanced collectors.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
While primarily photosynthetic, target feeding once a week with mysis shrimp, reef roids, or finely minced meaty foods enhances colour saturation and tissue thickness.
Ensure trace element stability (especially iron and iodine) to maintain fluorescence and oral disc health.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place on a soft sandbed or isolated rock ledge where it can fully expand and move slightly with the current. Avoid placing near aggressive corals or strong direct flow, as it prefers calm zones to display its full polyp extension.
