orange fungia questions

[lilyost4290]

Hey everyone,
I just picked up a super bright orange plate coral. I had never seen a fungia that was completely orange all over before so i snagged it up while I had the chance. I've never had a fungia before and all the research I had done prior to purchase indicated that they were easy to care for (moderate light/flow, etc.) so I was wondering if these were any different or if anyone had any special tips? It's currently on the sandbed in a 55 with t5 lighting. The tank has lps, some sps, and clams so there is some decent flow, but I think i placed it in a decent spot. Also it's kind of small, maybe the size of a half dollar. Is this something to worry about or not a problem at all? thanks in advance

I'm assuming this is a short tentacle plate. Lower intermittent flow, low to med light and a squirt of mysis now and then will keep it happy. They can puff up at night and drift along the sand so don't be surprised if it moves a little here and there. The orange coloration doesn't change the care. Congrats on your 1st fungia!

You'd be correct, it is a short tentacle. I probably should have mentioned that. And thanks!

I've had mine for a few months now and its been responding well to medium flow low light
