General info about Strawberry Shake 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.

This are the water parameters for cultivating Strawberry Shake 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
