Heliofungia

Heliofungia: long tentacles and flowing movement

Its long tentacles can make a Heliofungia look like an anemone, but it is an LPS stony coral. It needs open, sheltered sand space and is a poor choice for a crowded reef. If no animals are listed below, we currently have no specimen on offer. New listings appear here automatically. With WYSIWYG, you choose an individual animal from its original photographs.

Allow room and gentle water movement

Place it on clean sand rather than sharp rock. Leave enough space for fully extended tentacles without touching neighbouring corals. Flow should gently move them rather than repeatedly folding them over. Begin with low to moderate lighting and acclimate gradually. Offer small suitable food portions when tentacles are open, without forcing the mouth. Support the skeleton when moving the animal and avoid squeezing its delicate tissue.

Compare before choosing

For shorter-tentacled plate corals, explore our separate Fungia collection. You can also browse other LPS corals and read the shipping information. Colours may differ from blue-lit product photographs under your own lighting.
