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