As for the Aussie Green Rim Fungia, they are predominantly colored brown with green polyps and green margin. This are the water parameters for cultivating Aussie Green Rim Fungia:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
