Overview

The Inferno Bloom Fungia is a breathtaking plate coral that commands attention with its fiery orange base, accented by rare grafted neon green polyps that sway like flickering flames. This vibrant contrast creates an illusion of a living fire, making it a truly unique and sought-after specimen for high-end reef aquariums. As a free-living coral, it gently shifts with the water flow, adding a dynamic presence to any tank.

Care & Feeding

This Fungia species thrives under moderate to high lighting and benefits from occasional target feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, or specialized coral pellets. Its extended polyps help it capture nutrients from the water column, further enhancing its striking coloration and overall health.

Optimal Parameters

• Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
• Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
• Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
• Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
• Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm

Placement

The Inferno Bloom Fungia should be placed on a sandy substrate or a flat rock surface, ensuring it has space to expand fully. While peaceful, it should be given room to prevent accidental contact with more aggressive corals.

A rare and stunning centerpiece for any reef tank, bringing the brilliance of fire and motion to your underwater paradise!
