General info about Orange Rim Diasaris Plate 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 Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia, they are predominantly colored purple on the wall, light blue on the valley and raonge on the mouth and margin. This are the water parameters for cultivating Orange Rim Diasaris Plate 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
Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Orange Rim Diasaris Plate 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 Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia
The Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia Origin
The Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
Caution Should be Taken with Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia
The Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.
How to Acclimate Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia
The Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia
The Orange Rim Diasaris Plate Fungia has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
