Strawberry Shake Fungia

<div class="more_detail"> <p>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.</p> <p>This are the water parameters for cultivating Strawberry Shake Fungia: </p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 - 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> <li>pH: 8.1 - 8.4</li> </ul> </div>

<p><span class="subListHeading1">In the wild, Strawberry Shake 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.</span></p>

<p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Strawberry Shake Fungia. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.</p>

<p>The Strawberry Shake Fungia requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.</p>

<p>The Strawberry Shake Fungia can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.</p>

<p>The Strawberry Shake Fungia has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank. </p>

<p>The Strawberry Shake Fungia is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p>

<p>The Strawberry Shake Fungia has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.</p>
