General info about Kermit the Frog 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 Kermit the Frog Fungia, they are predominantly colored red with green tentacles and green margin. This are the water parameters for cultivating Kermit the Frog 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

Kermit the Frog Fungia Diet & Nutrition

The Kermit the Frog Fungia can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

Caution Should be Taken with Kermit the Frog Fungia

The Kermit the Frog Fungia has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.

How to Acclimate Kermit the Frog Fungia

The Kermit the Frog Fungia is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.

Stinging Tentacles on Kermit the Frog Fungia

The Kermit the Frog Fungia has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
