Heliofungia – Long Tentacle Plate Coral

Bring motion and elegance to your reef with this Heliofungia (Long Tentacle Plate Coral), a stunning LPS coral known for its long, flowing tentacles that resemble an anemone. Its tentacles extend gracefully during the day, swaying with the water’s movement, while the vibrant base provides a striking contrast under reef lighting.

Unlike standard Fungia plate corals, Heliofungia has longer, more expressive tentacles that give it a dramatic presence in any aquascape. This coral makes a beautiful centerpiece, offering both visual appeal and dynamic movement to your reef display.

Care Level: Moderate
Lighting: Moderate to High (LED, T5, or Metal Halide)
Flow: Low to Moderate – gentle water movement to avoid tentacle damage
Placement: On the sandbed or a flat surface with plenty of open space
Temperament: Peaceful but requires room to extend tentacles without contact
Diet: Photosynthetic; benefits from occasional target feeding of small meaty foods (mysis, brine shrimp, reef roids)

✨ A unique, flowing LPS coral that adds the look of anemone-like movement without the hosting risks — perfect for reefers seeking something truly eye-catching.
