Fungia Coral Species.

It may surprise some to learn that Fungia corals are some of the most colorful corals available for reef aquariums. Commonly found in brilliant shades of red, purple, pink, blue and yellow, these corals are strange and beautiful. Solitary corals, the most common morphology is a disc or oblong saucer-shape. In fact, the common names for corals of the Fungia genus include 'Disk Coral' and 'Plate Coral', but also include such oddities as the 'Tongue Coral' (Fungia Echinata). Fungia are found on the substrate of the reef, and do well in captive care on the sandbed of reef aquariums.

 

Coral species of the Genus Fungia include:

> Fungia Concinna > Fungia Danai > Fungia Echinata
> Fungia Fungites > Fungia Horrida > Fungia Repanda
> Fungia Scutaria
