Genus
Common name: Plate Coral
Scientific name: Heliofungia
Heliofungia is a genus of large polyp stony corals known for their distinctive plate-like appearance and long, flowing tentacles. They are often a centerpiece in reef aquariums due to their striking looks and movement. These corals are photosynthetic but also benefit from occasional feedings of meaty foods. They require moderate to high lighting and water flow to thrive. It's important to provide ample space as they can inflate significantly, which can harm neighboring corals.
