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