Acerca de
Mushroom corals (family Fungiidae) are disc- or umbrella-shaped solitary corals with radiating septa on their upper surface. Widespread across Indo-Pacific reef slopes and sandy substrates, juveniles attach to hard substrate while adults become free-living and can move across the sand bed—a remarkable behavior unique among stony corals. Colors range from brown and green to pink and red, with individuals reaching 5–30 cm in diameter. They are among the easiest corals to keep, thriving in low to moderate light (50–200 PAR) with gentle flow when placed directly on the sand bed. Regular target feeding accelerates growth.
