General info about Indo Fungia
In general, corals coming from the genus Fungia are solitary animals. Unlike your typical coral, Fungia coral is not composed of a colony, but instead, is a single-polyp coral. It has a flattened skeletal structure that resembles like a disc. Its corallite walls are highly elevated forming plates and their mouth is located at the center.
As for the Indo Fungia, they are predominantly colored orange with yellow polyps. This are the water parameters for cultivating Indo Fungia:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
- Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
- pH: 8.1 - 8.4
Indo Fungia Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Indo Fungia has developed a symbiotic feeding relationship with marine algae called zooxanthellae that is living within their tissues. But in captivity, you have to feed them with nanoplankton and you may add dissolved organics in the water.
Fragging / Propagating Indo Fungia
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Indo Fungia. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Indo Fungia
The Indo Fungia requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Indo Fungia Origin
The Indo Fungia can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
Caution Should be Taken with Indo Fungia
The Indo Fungia has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.
How to Acclimate Indo Fungia
The Indo Fungia is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Indo Fungia
The Indo Fungia has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
