Plate Corals, including Fungia, Cycloceris, and Diaseris, are solitary LPS corals known for their large, flat, plate-like appearance. Although certain Cycloceris plates display a dome-like structure, these stunning corals come in a variety of colors such as greens, reds, yellows, and oranges, and are prized for their striking, open form. Plate Corals are relatively easy to care for and make an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced hobbyists.

Plate Corals prefer low to medium lighting and low water flow to thrive. While they mainly rely on photosynthesis through their symbiotic zooxanthellae, occasional feedings of small plankton or coral foods can help promote optimal growth and coloration, particularly in nutrient-poor tanks. They can extend their polyps widely when healthy, creating a vibrant display in your aquarium.

This coral is peaceful and can be placed near other non-aggressive species. Since Plate Corals are solitary and free-living, they should be placed directly on the substrate in a stable, flat area where they can grow undisturbed by water movement or other corals.
