The Heliofungia, or Long Tentacle Plate Coral, is one of the most visually striking solitary LPS corals available in the hobby. Unlike most stony corals, it spends its life unattached to the substrate — a free-living disc of flowing, anemone-like tentacles that sets it apart from virtually everything else in a reef tank. Ethically sourced and carefully selected by our team, this is a rare find that rarely disappoints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeliofungia can grow into an impressive dinner-plate-sized specimen over time, with tentacles that extend dramatically during feeding and under ideal flow conditions. It has a distinct personality — actively consuming meaty foods like mysis and silversides — and rewards attentive aquarists with vivid coloration ranging from electric green to deep brown with contrasting tips. Place it directly on a sandy substrate with moderate flow and moderate lighting, and watch it become the undisputed focal point of your home aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Tentacle Plate Coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Varies — contact us for current availability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive — maintain generous spacing from neighboring corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivorous; target-feed 2–3x weekly with mysis shrimp, chopped silversides, or LPS pellets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e With caution — keep well away from adjacent corals due to sweeper tentacle reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temp 76–80°F | Salinity 1.025–1.026 | pH 8.1–8.3 | Alkalinity 8–10 dKH | Calcium 400–450 ppm | Magnesium 1250–1350 ppm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Heliofungia we ship from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our Miami facility until it's actively feeding and visibly thriving.
